Answer:

John is 20 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the second mean is 18, it is equal to the first mean age plus John's unknown age. The sum is also divided by 2 because there are 2 values in the sum (1. John's age and 2. the mean, 16 yrs old).

Set up an equation: \frac{x+16}{2}=18

multiply both sides by 2: x+16=36

simplify: x=20

Question 2
drek231 [11]

Answer:

y=-3x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+2y=-10

2y = -6x-10 (you need to isolate the y and so i took 6x and subtracted it from both sides)

y = -6/2x-10/2 ( dont feel like explaining)

divide them (-6/2 and -10/2) to get

y=-3x-5

Hope i helped
