Rob is 18
Jake is 9

21-15=6
6+3=9
9x2=18
(No clue how I got 15 )

Suppose Rob's age is X and Jake's age Y

Since Rob is two times as old as Jake, X = 2Y

Since Three Years ago the sum of their ages was 21,

X + Y = 21 + 6 This is true because it was three years ago, so they both got older by 3 years

You plug in X to the second equation to fin 2Y + Y = 21 + 6 which is 3Y = 27, so Y = 7 Then, you plug this into the first equation and find that X = 14

So Rob is 14 and Jake is 7

Hope this helps :)

function a and function b are linear functions. function a is represented by the table values. function b is represented by the
Kryger [21]

The y-intercept of B is greater than the y-intercept of A and the rate of change of function A is less than the rate of change of B

<h3>Linear functions </h3>

The standard linear equation is expressed as y = mx + b

For the given table;

The y-intercept occur at x = 0

y = 3x + 4

y = 3(0) + 4

y = 4

For the table;

Using the coordinate points (1, 2) and (3,10)

rate of change "m" = 10-2/3-1
m = 8/2

m = 4

Recall that y = mx + b

2 = 4(1) + b

b = -2

Hence the y-intercept of B is greater than the y-intercept of A and the rate of change of function A is less than the rate of change of B.
