Answer:
5 yr and 39 yr
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the age of the younger
then 7x + 4 = the age of the older
Now x + 7x + 4 = 44
8x + 4 = 44
8x = 40
x = 5
7x + 4 = 7(5) + 4 = 35 + 4 = 39
Check: 5 + 39 = 44
Problem 3
The constant term is 290. This is the term that stays the same no matter what the value of 'a' happens to be. Contrast this with the variable term 2.50a which changes if 'a' changes (hence the name "variable" for "vary" or "change")
If Mike sold 0 accessories, then a = 0 and the expression would be
2.50*a + 290 = 2.50*0 + 290 = 290
Selling 0 accessories leads to $290. This is the amount he is guaranteed with the 2.50a portion being additional money to motivate him to sell more.

Answer: Choice (3) 290, amount he is guaranteed
======================================
Problem 4
Plug y = 0 into the equation. Solve for x
9x - 14y = -3
9x - 14*0 = -3 .... replace y with 0
9x - 0 = -3
9x = -3
9x/9 = -3/9 ... divide both sides by 9
x = -3/9
x = -1/3
------------
Answer: Choice (3) which is -1/3
Using the points (0,14) and (10,0), the gradient of the line is (14-0)/(0-5) which simplifies to -7/5.
From these points, we can also see that when the x value is zero, the y value is 14. Therefore the y-intercept is 14.
We can then put this into the equation of a straight line, y=mx+c:
y = (-7/5)x + 14
<h3><u>
Answer:</u></h3>
The simple interest is $3352.
<h3><u>
Step-by-step explanation:</u></h3>
Using PRT/100, we can find the interest.
- => 41,900 x 4 x 2/100
- => 419 x 4 x 2
- => $3352
<h3><u>Conclusion:</u></h3>
Therefore, the simple interest is $3352.
Hoped this helped.
