The two dinosaurs probably crossed paths at estimated coordinates (- 1, 2.5). 

To find where the two equations actually intersect, set them equal to each other. 

- 1/2x + 3 = 2x + 4

Subtract 4 from both sides, and add 1/2x to both sides to combine like terms.

2 1/2x = - 1 --> 5/2x = - 1

Multiply by 2/5 on both sides to isolate x

x = - 1(2/5)
x = - 2/5

Now plug in to either of the two equations. I used 2x + 4

- 1/2(- 2/5) + 3 = y
1/5 + 3 = y
y = 3 1/5


The actual coordinates where the dinosaurs crossed paths was (- 2/5, 3 and 1/5).

My original estimate was (- 1, 2 1/2) because based on the graph drawn above the point of interest (the intersection) appears to be below the third unit on the y-axis as well as in between the negative two unit and origin on the x-axis. My estimate was also off because the x-axis is counting by twos which does not necessarily allow for an accurate estimate strictly based on the naked eye.

Six years less than Tracey's age as an expression
likoan [24]

Answer:

T-6=X

Step-by-step explanation:

Tracey = T

X = Awnser

If we are subtracting six from Tracey's age, you would subtract six from T

since we don't know Tracey's age, it is represented by T.

Hope this Helps!
