Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In three years, Tom will be 57 + 3 = 60 years old.

Since Tom will be twice as old as James at that time, then James will be half his age, or 60/2 = 30 years old.

If James is going to be 30 years old in three years, then he is 27 years old now.

Answer: 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom is 57 now. In 3 years he will be 60, but also twice as old as his son. 1/2 of 60 is 30. 30 minus the 3 years that hasn’t happened yet equals 27.

What is the function graphed below? O y= x + 0.5 O y= 2 x + 0.5 O y=x O y=(0.5)

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

A. y= x + 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that:

y- intercept is b = 0.5, point (0, 0.5)
Rate of change is m = 1 as each next value of y is greater by 1.

The function is:

y = mx + b
y = x + 0.5

Correct choice is A
