If Paul and Steve are the same height and they are both correct, write an equation to represent this relationship. Put Paul's expression on the left side of the equal sign and Steve's expression on the right.

Theresa's height=60 inches

Paul's height= Steve's height=74 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Theresa has two brothers,Paul and Steve, who are both the same height. Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height. Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height. If they're both right, how tall is Theresa ?

Let

p=paul's height

s=steve's height

t=theresa's height

Paul's height = Steve's height

p=s

Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height

1 1/2 * t -16

=3/2t -16

Steve says he is 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height

1 1/3 * t - 6

=4/3t - 6

P=S

3/2t -16 = 4/3t - 6

Collect like terms

3/2t-4/3t= -6+16

9t-8t/6 =10

t/6=10

Cross product

t=60

Theresa's height=60 inches

P=3/2t -16

=3/2(60) -16

=180/2 -16

=90-16

=74 inches

p=s

Paul's height=74 inches

The expression that represents Paul’s height in inches is 3/4⁢t−16. The expression that represents Steve’s height in inches is 4/3⁢t−6. Paul and Steve are the same height, so the equation that represents this relationship is 3/2⁢t−16=4/3⁢t−6.

step-by-step explanation:

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
