Step-by-step explanation:

x = father's age now

y = son's age now

x = 2y + 10

x - 20 = 5(y - 20) = 5y - 100

using the first in the second equation :

2y + 10 - 20 = 5y - 100

-10 = 3y - 100

90 = 3y

y = 30

x = 2y + 10 = 2×30 + 10 = 60 + 10 = 70

the father is now 70 years old, the son now 30 years old.

Ne4ueva [31]
Find slope first:
m =y2-y1/x2-x1
m = 1--2/2--2
m = 3/4

Select a point, insert your slope, & put it into point slope form:
y-y1 =m(x-x1)

Your final answers are:

y-1=3/4(x-2)
OR
y+2 =3/4(x+2)
