5 years older...cause if David is 2 years younger than Graham & Neil is 7 years younger than Graham...7-2=5 years :)
Find the perpendicular line then find the intersection then find the point
perpendicular lines have slopes that are perpendicular
the slopes multiply bo -1
y=mx+b
m=slope
y=2x-3
2 is slope
2 times what=-1
what=-1/2
the equation is
y-3=-1/2(x-8) or
y=(-1/2)x+7

Answer:
(2,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not sure if you meant the first equation to be y or -y. I solved it as y.
y = x-5 -x -3y =7
I am going to take the second equation and write it as x =
-x - 3y = 7 Give equation
-x = 3y +7 Add 3y to both sides
x = -3y-7 Multiplied each term in the equation by -1 so that x could be positive
I am going to substitute -3y-7 for x in the first equation up above
y = x - 5
y = -3y -7 - 5 Substitute -3y-7 for x
y = -3y -12 Combined -7-5
4y = -12 Added 3y to both sides
y = -3 Divided both sides by 4.
I now know that y is -3, I will plug that into x = -3y-7 to solve for x
x = -3(-3) -7
x = 9-7 A negative times a negative is a positive
x = 2
To get t on one side, we have to use inverse operations to get rid of the 5.
1. Use inverse operation of multiplication to get rid of 5. Which would be division.
2. Divide both sides by 5.
5t/5 = 7 1/2 / 5
3. Solve.
5t/5 = t and 7 1/2 /5 = 1 1/2
7.5 / 5 = 1.5
Therefore, your answer would be C. divide both sides by 5, and the answer is 1 1/2.
$137.5 is left from spending 45% of $250
