The sum of Eli’s age and Cecil’s age is 60. Six years ago, Eli was three times old as Cecil. Find Eli’s age now

Mathematics

Answer:

Eli's age = 42 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Eli's age and y be Cecil's age

So,

According to the statement given

x+y=60     eqn 1

Eli's age 6 years ago = x-6

Cecil's age 6 years ago = y-6

So according to the given statement

x-6 = 3(y-6)

x-6 = 3y - 18

x-3y = -18+6

x-3y= -12      eqn 2

Subtracting eqn 2 from eqn 1

x+y - (x-3y) = 60 - (-12)

x+y-x+3y = 60+12

4y = 72

y = 18

Cecil's age = 18 years

Putting y = 18 in eqn 1

x+18=60

x = 60-18

x = 42

Eli's age = 42 years ..

Explain how you determine an equation for a line using a table of input/output values.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Example :

            x               y
            1               3
            2               6
            3               9
            4               12

first thing u do is pick any 2 points (x,y) from ur table

(1,3) and (2,6)
now we sub those into the slope formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) to find the slope
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(1,3)....x1 = 1 and y1 = 3
(2,6)...x2 = 2 and y2 = 6
sub
slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 1) = 3/1 = 3

now we use slope intercept formula y = mx + b
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3
use any point off ur table...(1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 3(1) + b
3 = 3 + b
3 - 3 = b
0 = b

so ur equation is : y = 3x + 0....which can be written as y = 3x...and if u sub any of ur points into this equation, they should make the equation true....if they dont, then it is not correct

and if u need it in standard form..
y = 3x
-3x + y = 0
3x - y = 0 ...this is standard form
