Answer:

14yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary’s age=x

5•x = x•7-28

=> 5x-7x= -28

=> -2x= -28

=> x= -28/-2

=> x= 14

setup a simple algebraic equation and solve.

5x = 7x-28

-5x   -5x

0=2x-28

+28  +28

28=2x

Now divide both sides by 2 and you get that she is 14

a line that includes the point (3,4) has a slope of 2. what is the equation in the slope-intercept form?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>the slope is y/x</em>

the slope is 2 or 2/1

<em>subtract 2 from the y value and 1 from the x value</em>

(3-1,4-2) = (2,2)

<em>keep doing this until you get a 0 in the x value</em>

(2-1,2-2) = (1,0)

<em>1 is your x-intercept</em>

(1-1,0-2) = (0,-2)

-2 is your y intercept.

So now you know your y-intercept and your slope so you can now write your equation.

<em>y=mx+b</em>

<em>m=slope, b=y-intercept</em>

m=2, b=-2

<em>substitute into the equation</em>

y=2x-2

Solve the equation. Check your solutions.<br> |4b+4|=|2b+8|
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>

Explanation:

|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|

<em>Solve absolute value</em>

|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|

Either 4b + 4 = 2b + 8 or 4b + 4 = −(2b + 8)

4b + 4 = 2b + 8 <em>(Possibility 1)</em>

4b + 4 − 2b = 2b + 8 − 2b <em>(Subtract 2b from both sides)</em>

2b + 4 = 8

2b + 4 − 4 = 8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>

2b = 4

2b / 2 = 4 / 2 <em>(Divide both sides by 2)</em>

b = 2

4b + 4 = −(2b + 8) <em>(Possibility 2)</em>

4b + 4 = −2b − 8 <em>(Simplify both sides of the equation)</em>

4b + 4 + 2b = −2b − 8 + 2b <em>(Add 2b to both sides)</em>

6b + 4 = −8

6b + 4 − 4 = −8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>

6b = −12

6b / 6 = -12 / 6 <em>(Divide both sides by 6)</em>

b = -2

<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>

At a bake sale, as student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "b" be the price of 1 brownie and "c" the price of 1 cookie.

At a bake sale, a student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. Symbolicaly,

3 b + 5 c = 11.00   [1]

His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies. Symbolicaly,

1 b + 2 c = 3.95

b = 3.95 - 2c   [2]

If we replace [2] in [1], we get

3 (3.95 - 2c) + 5 c = 11.00

11.85 - 6c + 5c = 11.00

c = 0.85

If we replace c = 0.85 in [2], we get

b = 3.95 - 2 (0.85) = 2.25
