We have 3 people: Paul, Daniel and Patricia. Let each name denote that person’s current age in years. Remember that % is the symbol for 1/100.
PAUL: (#A) Paul = Patricia – 2
DANIEL:
(#B) Daniel = 125% * Patricia = 125 * (1/100) * Patricia = 1.25 * Patricia
(#C) Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time would have been Daniel’s current age – 10. IE “Daniel – 10”.
Ten years ago, Patricia’s age at that time would have been Patricia’s current age – 10. IE “Patricia – 10”.
Ten years ago, Daniel’s age at that time (IE Daniel – 10) was 50% greater than Patricia’s age at the time (Patricia – 10).
IE
Daniel – 10 = 150% * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * (Patricia – 10)
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 1.50 * 10
Daniel – 10 = 1.50 * Patricia – 15
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 15 + 10
Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
So now we have 3 equations in 3 unknowns:
(A) Paul = Patricia – 2
(B) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia
(C) Daniel = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
Solve equations B & C simultaneously
1.25 * Patricia = 1.50 * Patricia – 5
1.25 * Patricia – 1.50 * Patricia = – 5
– 0.25 * Patricia = – 5
Patricia = (– 5) / (– 0.25)
Patricia = + 20
So now we can write the 3 people’s ages:
(a) Patricia = 20
(b) Paul = Patricia – 2 = 20 – 2 = 18
(c) Daniel = 1.25 * Patricia = 1.25 * 20 = 25

<span>Finally, we check our solution against the original question. </span>
Paul is two years younger than Patricia. ……… 20 – 2 = 18 ✔
Daniel is 25% older than Patricia. ……… 25 = 125% * 20 ✔
Ten years ago, Daniel was 50% older than Patricia. 25 – 10 = 150% (20– 10) ✔
Hope that helped :)
Make equal to 0

Slope is known as rise over run. Because the line is pointing "\", it is negative.
The rise, the distance from one point to another, specifically from (0,4) to (1,1) is 3, as 4-1=3. your run is 1-0=1.
So your rise over run is -3/1 or, -3.
Your y-int is where when x=0, y=?
In this case y=4 when x=0.
Your equation is
y=-3x+4
It should be B or C

Answer:

,
, 15/2, 7.5
Step-by-step explanation: This is a bit tricky because 15/2 is equal to 7.5 !!
√40 = 6.32455532
7 1/5 = 7.2
3√6 = 7.348469228
15/2 = 7.5
7.5 = 7.5
