Answer:

Bryson’s age is 14 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> Bryson’s age

we know that

Bryson’s age multiplied by 3 minus 4 must be equal to 38

The linear equation that represent this situation is

$3x-4=38$

solve for x

Adds 4 both sides

$3x=38+4$

$3x=42$

Divide by 3 both sides

$x=14$

therefore

Bryson’s age is 14 years

Sophie can type 128 words in 3 minutes. How many minutes will it take her to type 576 words?

Andrej [43]

Let’s first find the rate that she types at in wok.
128/3 = 42+2/3 words per minute.
Now divide 576 by the rate.
576/42.666= 13.5 minutes

James works in a sporting goods store and earns $324 a week and 5% of his sales. One week James earned $432. What were his sales

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

His sales that week were $2,160.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to subtract $324 from the amount he earned that week, to find the 5% he got from sales:

$432-$324=$108

Now, you know that he received $108 that represent 5% of his sales and you can use a rule of three to find the amount that represents 100% which would be his sales that week:

5% → 108

100% → x

x=(100*108)/5=2160

According to this, the answer is that his sales that week were $2,160.

Line Equation from Two Points

Verdich [7]

Hi!

We can use point-slope form to solve this.

$y-y_{1} =m(x -x_{1})$

$y_{1}$ and $x_{1}$ will be from one of the points.

First, we have to find $m$ , the slope. We can use the slope equation to get this.

$\frac{y_{1} -y_{2} }{x_{1} -x_{2} }$

Plug in your points:

$\frac{4-0}{8-(-8)} =\frac{4-0}{8+8} =\frac{4}{16} =\frac{1}{4}$

Your slope is $\frac{1}{4}$

Now plug points and slope into point-slope equation. We will use (8, 4).

$y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)$

Now, if you want to get it into y = mx + b form, you have to solve for y:

$y-4=\frac{1}{4} (x-8)$

$y-4=\frac{1}{4} x-2$

$y=\frac{1}{4} +2$

Your equation is $y=\frac{1}{4} +2$
