Answer:

<u>Ashley is 9 years old now and Alfonso is 17.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Ashley = x

Age of Alfonso = x + 8

Age of Ashley five years ago =  3 * (x -5)

Age of Alfonso five years ago = (x + 8) - 5

Let's solve for x using the following equation:

(x + 8) - 5 = 3 * (x -5)

x + 8 - 5 = 3x - 15

x + 3 = 3x - 15

x - 3x = - 15 - 3

-2x = - 18

x = -18/-2 = 9

x = 9 ⇒ x + 8 = 17

<u>Ashley is 9 years old now and Alfonso is 17.</u>

Answer:

9 year old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose

Alfonso = x

Ashley = y

x = 8 + y

Five years ago Alfonso was three times as old as Ashley

x - 5 = 3 (y-5)

put value of x

y + 8 - 5 = 3y - 15

y + 3 = 3y -15

2y = 18

Ashley = y = 9

Round 0.5289 to the nearest thousandth.
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

0.5289 to the nearest thousandth is 0.529.

Step-by-step explanation: If a number is less than 5, round down, but if a number is 5 or more, round up. The digit after the thousandths place is the digit we should look at to answer the question and it is 9, so we round up from 0.528 or 0.529. So, the answer is 0.529.

The table represents a linear function. <br><br> What is the slope of the function?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is given with the formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Using the first two points, (-2, 8) and (-1, 2), we have

m = (2-8)/(-1--2) = -6/(-1+2) = -6/1 = -6
