The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

(7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52, or 8s+4 = 52.

Explanation:

Since s is the son's age, "two less than seven times" the son's age would be represented by 7s-2. To represent this in 3 years, we would add 3: (7s-2)+3. In 3 years, the son's age, s, would be represented by s+3. We are told that the sum of these ages will be 52; this gives us (7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52.

To simplify this, combine like terms. 7s+s = 8s; -2+3+3 = 4. This gives us 8s+4=52.

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = − 2/3 x + 1/3 shown on the graph? (–2.7, 2.1) (–2.1, 2.7)
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The approximate solution to the system is (-2.7, 2.1).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations \begin{bmatrix}y=0.5x+3.5\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix} you must:

\mathrm{Rationalize\:equations}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}y=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)x+\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)\\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\begin{bmatrix}-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Isolate}\:x\:\mathrm{for}\:-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{7}{2}\\\\-\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{19}{6}+\frac{1}{2}x\\\\-\frac{7}{6}x=\frac{19}{6}\\\\6\left(-\frac{7}{6}x\right)=\frac{19\cdot \:6}{6}\\\\-7x=19\\\\x=-\frac{19}{7}\approx-2.7

\mathrm{For\:}y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}\\\\\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-\frac{19}{7}\\\\y=-\frac{2}{3}\left(-\frac{19}{7}\right)+\frac{1}{3}\\\\y=\frac{15}{7}\approx 2.1

The approximate solutions to the system of equations are:

x=-2.7 ,\:y=2.1
