Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age ( in years ) of Max and y be the present age ( in years ) of Zeke,

Max's age 3 years ago = x - 3

According to the question,

2 ( x - 3 ) + y = 26 -----(1)

Also, if Zeke's present age is 8 years,

That is y = 8,

From equation (1),

2x - 6 + 8 = 26

2x + 2 = 26

2x = 24

x = 12

Hence, Max is 12 years old currently.

The first step of solving this problem is to find your x, which is the unknown number. The unknown number is the age of Max. Once you find the x you can write out your equation.

The equation for this problem is:

2x+8=26

the first step is to subtract 8 from both sides so that all you have on the left side is 2x and your equation will look like ths:

2x=18

after subtracting the 8; divide everything by the coefficient of x which is 2, your result is:

x=9

Max is 9 years old.

Name the equation for any horizontal line of your choosing
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal line is a line which is parallel to x-axis

It has a slope of 0

Any line whose slope is m can be represented as

y = mx + c

Here m=0

y=c  where c is a constant

Any line whose equation is of the above form is a horizontal line.
