Answer:

Susie is 25 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = the age Susie has now.

x - 20 = the age she was 20 years ago.

If Susie is 5 times the age she was twenty years ago, then

x = 5 . (x - 20)

x = 5x - 100

4x = 100

x = 25

Susie is 25 years old, which is 5 times the age she was 20 years ago (25 years - 20 years = 5 years).

20 POINTS !!! <br><br> Find the distance between the points (3,-4) and (5, 4)

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$d=2\sqrt{17}\approx8.2462$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points, use the distance formula.

The distance formula is:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2$

Let (3,-4) be x₁ and y₁ and let (5,4) be x₂ and y₂. Therefore:

$d=\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(4--4)^2$

Simplify:

$d=\sqrt{(2)^2+(8)^2$

Square:

$d=\sqrt{4+64}$

Add:

$d=\sqrt{68}$

Simplify:

$d=\sqrt{4\cdot17}=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{17}$

Simplify:

$d=2\sqrt{17}\approx8.2462$

The line passes through the points ( 7, -7) and ( 6, -5) a. y = -2x + 7 c. y = -2x - 7 b. y = 2x - 21 d. y = 2x - 7

ollegr [7]

Slope = (-5+7)/(6 - 7) = -2

y = mx + b
b = y - mx
b = -7 - (-2)(7)
b = -7 + 14
b = 7

equation
y = -2x + 7

answer
<span>a. y = -2x + 7</span>
