The age of Blain is 23 years old
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"
Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age
So we can frame a equation as:
age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)
a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1
Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain
Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16
b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
a = 2 + 3(a - 16)
a = 2 + 3a - 48
a - 3a = -46
-2a = -46
a = 23
Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old
-1/1 because it goes to the left once and up once so it will be one over one but it’s one the left side so it will turn negative so it will be negative one over one
Answer:x = 9/16
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3 = 6x - 4
/3
First you gotta get rid of the divided by 3
2x / 3 = 2/3x and 3 / 3 = 1
Now you have
2/3x + 1 = 6x - 4
Second you have to get rid of the 2/3x on the left side
2/3x + 1 = 6x - 4
-2/3x -2/3x
1 = 5 1/3x - 4
Third you have to get rid of the -4
1 = 5 1/3x - 4
-4 -4
-3 = 5 1/3x
Fourth you have to divide by 5 1/3
-3 = 5 1/3x
/ 5 1/3 / 5 1/3
x = 9/16

Answer:
y = 750 -100x
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial remaining balance is 750. The balance decreases by 100 per month, so is reduced by 100x. The equation describing this is ...
y = 750 -100x
