In seven years her mother will be 38 +7 = 45 years old.
She will be 5 times as old, so divide 45 by 5: 45/5 = 9. Elaine will be 9 years old then, so she is 9-7 = 2 years old now.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
A is the less complicated one and the simplest but also the most efficient and the one that makes the most sense.
The 2 lines are parallel, so the 2 sides(e.g. 1 and 2/ 3 and 49) add up = 180 and In this case the 2 sides are equal as u can see from the original diagram so the angle of 2 is 180-49=131.
Y = ax + b;
0.89 = a * 2 + b and 2.09 = a * 5 + b =>
=> 2.09 - 0.89 = a * 5 + a * 2 + b - b => 1.20 = 3 * a => a = 1.20 / 3 => a = 0.40;
b = 0.89 - 0.40 * 2 => b = 0.89 - 0.80 => b = 0.09;
y = 0.40x + 0.09 => 0.40x - y + 0.09 = 0 is the linear equation.
