Meg is 4 times as old as carlo. in 6 years she will be twice as old as he will be. how old are they now?

the system of inequity is

step-by-step explanation:

from the given graph it is noticed that we have two related lines. one is solid and another is dashed.

if a line passing through two points, then the equation of line is

the solid line passing through the points (0,4) and (4,0).

the related equation of solid line is .

similarly, find the related equation of dashed line. the dashed liune passing through the points (0,0) and (3,1).

the related equation of dashed line is

from the given graph it is noticed that the point (0,1) lies on the shaded region, therefore the point (0,1) must be satisfied by the related equations.

check the related equations by the point (0,1).

this statement is true if the sign of inequality is < instead of equality. since it is an solid line therefore the sign of inequality will be . the required inequality is

similarly, check the second related equation.

it is a dashed line, so this statement is true if the sign of inequality is > . the required inequality is

overpriced

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
