for my answer i got 512 but it is not one of the answer choices
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Linda: 3 ; Laura: 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that Linda + Laura's age is 18, and that Linda is 12 years younger than her sister.
Let "Linda" = x , "Laura" = y:
x + y = 18
x = y - 12
First, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:
(y - 12) + y = 18
Simplify.
2y - 12 = 18
Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First add, then divide.
2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)
2y = 18 + 12
2y = 30
(2y)/2 = (30)/2
y = 30/2
y = 15
Next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).
x = y - 12
x = (15) - 12
x = 3
Linda's age is 3, Laura's age is 15.

In order to find a slope, there is an equation:
Y2-Y1/X2-X1
X1=2
X2=3
Y1=5
Y2=0
0-5= -5
3-2=1
Since slope is written as Y/X, slope would be-5/1 or simply, -5.
Now, we need to find the y-intercept.
To do this, shift the original equation:
Original equation: y=-5x+b
Shifted equation: b=y+5x
Now, plug in one of the points.
Let's use (2,5)
b=5+5(2)
5*2=10
10+5=15
y-intercept=15
So, the full equation of the line would be:
y=-5x+15
