Jeremy is 5 years younger than his older sister. His older sister is 9 years older than his younger sister. The total of their age is 49. Write and solve an equation to find the ages of Jeremy and his sisters. I need help please!
Answers
Older sister=x+5
younger sister=x+5-9 or x-4
x+(x+5)+(x-4)=49
combine like terms
3x+5-4=49
3x+1=49
subtract 1 from both sides
3x=48
divide both sides by 3
x=16
Jeremy=16
Older sister=16+5=21
younger sister =16-4 or 16+5-9=12
J=16
OS=21
YS=12
Older sister - x+5
Younger sister - x-4
3x+1=49
3x=48
X= 16
Jeremy: 16
Older sister: 21
Younger sister: 12

x = 18/2
x = 9
4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15
(4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3
- 2y = 3 - x
- 2y = 3 - 9
- 2y = - 6
y = - 6/ - 2
y = 3

(25 * x^2) / (5 * x) + (8 * x^2) / x = 5 * x + 8 * x = 13 * x
The correct result would be 13 * x.

-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are firing 3 employees per month.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is W(n) = 65 - 3n .
