Answer:

Ram: 21, Hari: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the following notation. We call:

r = Ram's age at present

h = Hari's age at present

We know that:

- Ram is 9 years older than Hari --> mathematically, this can be written as

r=h+9

- Three years ago, Ram was two times as old as Hari was --> mathematically, this can be written as

r-3=2(h-3)

where (r-3) is Ram's age 3 years ago, while (h-3) is Hari's age 3 years ago

Substituting eq.(1) into eq.(2), we  find:

(h+9)-3=2(h-3)\\h+9-3=2h-6\\h+6=2h-6\\h=12

So, Hari's age is 12; therefore, Ram's age is

r=12+9=21

Match the information on the left with the appropriate equation on the right.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

See attachment below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first option, we are given m = - 2 / 3, b = 3. This is likely in the point - slope form y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y - intercept. Thus, the equation of the line in point - slope form given this information, should be y = - 2 / 3x + 3. It seems as if none of the following equations match this form, so let us interchange the equation a bit,

y = - 2 / 3x + 3,

y + 2 / 3x = 3,

2x + 3y = 9 - Option C

_______________________________________________________

Next we are given m = - 3 / 2, and that this line passes through the point ( 4, - 1 ). Substitute m as - 3 / 2, x as 4, y as - 1, knowing point ( 4, - 1 ), into the form y = mx + b - solving for b.

- 1 = ( - 3 / 2 )( 4 ) + b,

b = 5,

Thus the equation in point - slope form should be y = - 3 / 2x + 5. None of the choices match this, so let us again alter the equation,

y = - 3 / 2x + 5,

2y = - 3x + 10,

- 2y = 3x - 10 - Option A

_______________________________________________________

( 6, 3 ) and ( 3, 1 ) is given to lie on this line. The slope of the line should be as follows,

Slope = 3 - 1 / 6 - 3 = 2 / 3

Now let us determine the y - intercept ( b ) by substitute one of the points, say ( 6, 3 ). In this case x = 6, and y = 3,

3 = ( 2 / 3 )( 6 ) + b,

b = - 1,

y = 2 / 3x - 1 = Option D
