Given that:
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach, if Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3 .
To find:
The equation that can be used to solve for zach's age.
Solution:
Let the age of zach be Z.
Zach added 8 to his age = Z+8
And multiplied this sum by 3 = 3(Z+8)
James is 6 times older than his friend Zach = 6Z
Now,
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, the required equation is is age of zach is 8 years.
Answer: y=2x-5. so it's 2
remember the following equation: y=mx+b.
the slope is always m, the y intercept is b.
notice the first term is -10, and the common difference is 3, so we add 3 to get the next term.
check the picture below.
First, start off with the x-axis. -6.5, 1 becomes 6.5, 1. This is because point T is 6.5 to the left of the x-axis line, so our new point would be 6.5 to the right of the x-axis line. Same thing for the y-axis, (6.5, 1) would become (6.5, -1).
