If y varies directly with x, means that they can be modeled by a linear equation, lets choose a line with 0 y intercept, that is:
y = mx + b
y = mx
where m is the slope of the line, now we plug in the data we have:
y = mx
20/3 = m(30)
solving for m:
m = (20/3)(1/30)
m = 20/90
m = 2/9
so the line equation, or function modeling the y and x relationship is:
y = (2/9)x
Let present age of women and her daughter be x and y respectively.
<u>According to the questi</u>on,
Case 1 :
Two years ago,
Woman age = ( x - 2 ) years
Her daughter age = ( y - 2 ) years
Woman was 7 times old as her daughter. [ Given ]
x - 2 = 7 ( y - 2 )
=> x - 2 = 7y - 14
=> x - 2 + 14 = 7y
=> x + 12 = 7y ....( i )
Case 2 :
After Three years ,
Woman age = x + 3
Her daughter age = y + 3
she would be 4 times old as the girl. [ Given ]
x + 3 = 4 ( y + 3 )
=> x + 3 = 4y + 12
=> x = 4y + 12 - 3
=> x = 4y + 9....( ii )
Now,
★ Substituting the value of x = 4y + 9 from equation ( ii ) in equation ( i ),we get
x + 12 = 7y
=> 4y + 9 + 12 = 7y
=> 21 = 7y - 4y
=> 21 = 3y
=> 3y = 21
=> y = 21/3
=> y = 7
And,
x = 4y + 9
★ Substituting the value of y in equation ( ii ), we get
x = 4 × 7 + 9
x = 28 + 9
x = 37
Hence, the present age of women is 37 years and her daughter age is 7.
Answer:
5(x + 2) = 11
x = 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x + 2) = 11
x + 2 = 11/5 = 2.2
so x = 0.2
Answer:
x=3 y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=4
y=-x+4
plug in the y
2x-(-x+4)=5
2x+x-4=5
3x=9
x=3
plug in x=3 into first equation to find y
y=-(3)+4
y=-3+4
y=1
