Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Olivia is x years old. Peyton is 6 years older than Olivia. This means that Peyton's age is (x + 6) years Three times Peyton's age is equal to 24. The equation that could be used to solve for Olivia's age is

3(x + 6) = 24

2) 3x + 18 = 24

Subtracting 18 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

3x + 18 - 18 = 24 - 18

3x = 6

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

3) Peyton's age = x + 6 = 2 + 8

= 8 years

If f(x) is parallel to the line y= 3/4 x + 2/5 which function could be f(x)
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

If f(x) is parallel to the line y=3/4x+b ,it would have to have the same slope.  

In this equation:

y=mx+b

m= is the slope of the line.

A line parallel to the line y=3/4x +2/5 must have the same slope; that it is to say, the slope would be m=3/4

Examples:

y=3/4 x+ 50000

y=3/4 x -51/36

y=3/4 x -√2

These functions could be parallels to the line y=3/4 x +2/5
