X=Tom´s age
y=Tim´s age.
we suggest this system of equations: 

x+y=21
(x+3)=2(y+3)

We solve this system of equations by susbstitution method.
x=21-y
[(21-y)+3]=2(y+3)
24-y=2y+6
-y-2y=6-24
-3y=-18
y=-18/-3=6

x=21-y
x=21-6=15.

Answer: Tom is 15 years old, and Tim is 6 years old.

The slope of the line that contains the points (1, -1) and (2, 3) is 4. What is the y-intercept?
MrRissso [65]
Y- intercept =-5
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-(-1)=4(x-1)
y+1=4(x-1)
y+1=4x-4
y=4x-4-1
y=4x-5
Or
y=4x+b
-1=4(1)+b
-1=4+b
-1-4=b
-5=b. Y-intercept is -5
