Try this solution:
1. In order to built the line required in the condition it need to determine its equation.
Using the coordinates of point B (5;2), if to substitute them into the given equation: 2=-3*5+b, ⇒ b=17. It means, that the equation of the line required in the condition is y= -3x+17.
2. The graph is in the attachment; point (0;17) is the intersection point of Y-axis and the line.
Answer:
27 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Alvin's age be x and Elga's age is y:
y - x = 15
x + y = 27
2y = 42 (use elimination method)
y = 21
x = 6 (plug it back into either equation)
Therefore Alvin is 6 and Elga is 27
The area of the composite shape is 203ft
You just have to go 7x28=[7x20]+[7x8]=196
