Answer: u = 6

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for u in the equation you see here, we must first isolate the term containing u which in this problem is -6u.

Since 7 is being added to -6u, we subtract 7 from both sides of the equation to isolate the -6u. On the left side of the equation, the +7 and -7 cancel out and on the right side of the equation, -29 - 7 is -36 so we have -6u = -36.

Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by -6. On the left the -6's cancel and on the right -36 divided by -6 is 6.

So u = 6 and you can check your answer by 6 back in for u in the original equation shown below in italics.

-6 (6) + 7 = -29

X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age

Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:

-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)

x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)

| basically,
v

x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.

6/2 - 2 = y

3 - 2 = y

1 = y

1) A line with gradient 2 passes through (0, 4). Write down the equation of the line.

blondinia [14]

For the attached image, note that slope is the same thing as gradient.

1) y = 2x + 4

2) Substituting in x = 1 and y = 1,

1 = 4(1) + c

1 = 4 + c

c = -3

So, the equation is y = 4x - 3
