Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Nick age is x years and Harry's age is y years.

Hence, we have the equation

x = 7y  ......(1)

After six years, Nick's age is (x+6) and Harry's age is (y+6)

Hence, we have

x+6=5(y+6)\\x+6=5y+30

Plugging x = 7y, we get

7y+6=5y+30\\2y=24\\y=12

Hence, from equation (1)

x = 7(12)

x =84

In 6 years, Harry will be of 12 + 6 =18 years.

X = Harry's Age

Nick's age is 7x 

In 6 years Harry is 7x+6, and Nick is 5(x+6)

7x+6=5x+30

2x+6=30

2x = 24

x = 12

Harry = 12 years old and in 6 years Harry will be 18.

How do we put the points (0,7) and (8,-2) into slope intercept form
Vinil7 [7]
The formula for slope intercept form is y=mx+b where x is the slope and b is the y intercept. To find the slope you would have to do -2-7 over 8-0 and that would give you -9/8. That would be your slope. And I think you should be given a graph I’m not sure but if there is look at it and see what point you see on the y axis

Find the distance between each pair of numbers on the number line; then find the coordinate of their midpoint.
quester [9]

Answer:

d = 1 7/24 or 31/24;  midpoint would be half of that,or 31/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Since distance is absolute value, add 2/3 and 5/8 to get the entire distance.  Midpoint is that distance divided by 2.
