<u>Solution:</u>
Given, Kari bought 3 boxes of cookies to share with a book club.
Each box contains 12 cookies.
So, in total we have 3 x 12 cookies = 36 cookies.
Now, we have to find how many cookies can each person p will get.
Let, the total number of persons be x.
Then, after equally sharing the cookies,
Hence, the algebraic expression is
Consider triangle XYZ with vertices at points X(1,-3), Y(3,0) and Z(-1,-1). If triangle XYZ is reflected across the line y = 1, then the rule of reflection is
(x,y)→(x,-y+2).
The image X' of point X will have coordinates according to the given rule:
X(1,-3)→X'(1, -(-3)+2)=X'(1,5).
Answer: correct choice is D.
Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
