The present age of the mother is 30 years.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Step 1 :

At present,

Age of Jane = x
Age of Billy = 5x
Age of mother = 3(5x) = 15x

Step 3 :

After 2 years,

Age of Jane = x+2
Age of mother = 8 times as Jane = 8(x+2)

Step 3 :

Age of mother at present + 2 years = Age of mother after 2 years

⇒ 15x + 2 = 8(x+2)

⇒ 15x + 2 = 8x + 16

⇒ 7x = 14

⇒ x = 2

Step 4 :

Substitute x=2,

Age of mother at present = 15x = 30 years.

What is the equation for

WARRIOR [948]

The equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is y = –4x – 16.

Solution:

The equation of a line given is y = 0.25x – 7

Slope of the given line( $m_1$ ) = 0.25

Let $m_2$ be the slope of the perpendicular line.

Passes through the point (–6, 8).

<em>If two lines are perpendicular then the product of the slopes equal to –1.</em>

$\Rightarrow m_1 \cdot m_2=-1$

$\Rightarrow 0.25\cdot m_2=-1$

$\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{-1}{0.25}$

$\Rightarrow m_2=-4$

Point-slope intercept formula:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$x_1=-6, y_1=8$ and $m=-4$

Substitute these in the formula, we get

$y-8=-4(x-(-6))$

$y-8=-4(x+6)$

$y-8=-4x-24$

Add 8 on both sides of the equation.

$y-8+8=-4x-24+8$

$y=-4x-16$

Hence the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line is

y = –4x – 16

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is

seropon [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=-9

y=-x-9

So slope of original line is -1.

The line perpendicular to the original line is -1/-1 = 1

A plane leaves at 11:22 am .and arrived at 3:13 pm. how long was the flight?

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

3 hours and 51 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the ending time and subtract the start time

3:13pm - 11:22am

Remember that pm means aft 12 o'clock in the after noon so add 12 hours

12+3:13 - 11:22

15:13 - 11:22

We are subtracting more minutes than we have so we have to borrow from the hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

14 : 60+13 - 11:22

14:73 - 11:22

3: 51

3 hours and 51 minutes
