Answer: Vu is 15 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let present age of WU be x.

Then, the present age of Vu = 3x

Also, After 25 years

Age of Wu = x+25

According to the question:

$(x+25)=2(3x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+25=6x\\\\\Rightarrow\5x=25\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=5$

Present age of Vu = 3(5) = 15

Hence, Vu is 15 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line is passing through the points:

$(-2,\:3)=(x_1,\:y_1) \:\&\: (2,\:5)=(x_2 ,\:y_2)$

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

$\frac{y -y_1 }{y_1 -y_2 } = \frac{x -x_1 }{x_1 -x_2 } \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y -3}{ 3 -5} = \frac{x -(-2) }{-2 -2} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y -3}{ - 2} = \frac{x -(-2) }{-4} \\ \\ \therefore \frac{y - 3}{1} = \frac{x +2}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: y-3= \frac{x}{2} + \frac{2}{2} \\ \\\therefore \: y= \frac{x}{2} + 1 +3\\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: y= \frac{1}{2} \:x+ 4}}\\ is \: the \: required \: equation \: of \: line.$

Answer:

The number of people who ordered steak dinner is 5

The number of people who ordered chicken dinner is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of people went for the dinner = 7

The total bill price for the dinner = $ 109

The price for the chicken dinner = $ 12

The price for the steak dinner = $ 17

Let The number of people who ordered chicken dinner = c

And The number of people who ordered steak dinner = s

Now, According to question

The total number of people went for the dinner = The number of people who ordered chicken dinner + The number of people who ordered steak dinner

Or, c + s = 7

And The total bill price for the dinner = The price for the chicken dinner × The number of people who ordered chicken dinner + The price for the steak dinner × The number of people who ordered steak dinner

Or, $ 12 × c + $ 17 × s = $ 109

Now, solving the equations

$ 12 × ( c + s ) = $ 12 × 7

Or, $ 12 × c + $ 12 × s = $ 84

Or, ( $ 12 × c + $ 17 × s ) - ( $ 12 × c + $ 12 × s ) = $ 109 - $ 84

Or , ( $ 12 × c - $ 12 × c ) + ( $ 17 × s - $ 12 × s ) = $ 25

Or, ( 0 ) + ( $ 5 s ) = $ 25

∴ s = $\frac{25}{5}$

I.e s = 5

So, The number of people who ordered steak dinner = s = 5

Put the value og s in Eq A

∵, c + s = 7

or, c = 7 - s

Or, c = 7 - 5

I.e c = 2

So , The number of people who ordered chicken dinner = c = 2

Hence The number of people who ordered steak dinner is 5

And The number of people who ordered chicken dinner is 2 Answer
