Y=mx+b
Y1-Y2/X1-X2
14-10/5-3 = 4/2 = 2
Plug in (3,10):
(10)=2(3)+b
Solve:
10=6+b
B=4
M=2
Answer:
y = 
Step-by-step explanation:
y = log 5 2x
inverse ------> y=x
x = log 5 2y

y = 
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
11 = 4x-9
20 = 4x
20/4 = 4x/4
5 = x
Let William be x years old.
Thomas = (4 + x) years
In five years,
William = (x + 5) years
Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years
Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.
x + 5 + 9 + x = 24
2x + 14 = 24
2x = 24 - 14
2x = 10
x =

x = 5
Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.
