Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
6/2=3
I think your answer might be 19.5
What thats so long sjsusjdjss
Since slope intercept is y=mx+b, you first want to get rid of the 2x by subtracting it from both sides. after, you should end up with 4y=16-2x or 4y=-2x+16, they both are the same, but some teachers might prefer the slope first. after that, you want to get the y alone, so you divide everything by 4. you should end up with the slope intercept form being y=-2/4x+4, simplified to y=-1/2x+4.
3 yrs ago:
Alice - x
Jane - 3x
Fast forward 2 years... 1 year ago:
Sum of their ages = 62
Equation to solve: x + 3x = 62
4x = 62
----- -----
4 4
x = 15.5
From this, we can deterime that Alice is 15 1/2 years old.
Then, plug in 15.5 for x in 3x to find Jane's age.
15.5 × 3 = 46.5
From this, we can determine that Jane is 46 1/2 years old.
I hope this helps you to understand this problem better.
