Answer:

126 = n × (n - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Nikki's age is <em>n </em>and she is 5 years older than Jamie, then Jamie is 5 years younger than Nikki's <em>n </em>number of years.

Answer:

Let, Nikki's age is 'n'.

Since, Jamie is 5 years younger than Nikki, let Jamie's age be 'n-5'

According to the question,

The product of their age is 126.

which means,

Nikki's Age × Jamie's age = 126

⇒ n × (n-5) = 126

⇒ n² - 5n = 126

⇒ n² - 5n - 126 = 0

Now you can do the middleterm,

⇒n² - 14n + 9n - 126 =0

⇒ n ( n - 14 ) + 9 (n - 14 ) = 0

⇒ ( n - 14 ) ( n + 9 ) = 0

since n's value can not negative

⇒ ( n - 14 ) = 0

∴ n = 14

Nikki's age is 14

and Jamie's age is 9 years

Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points: (2,4) and (7,-1)
IgorC [24]

Answer:

y= -x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope int. form: y=mx+b

first, we need to find the slope (m)

the two points are (2,4) and (7,-1).

to find the slope we do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

doing this we get -5/5=-1

now we can plug in point (2,4) and the slope into y=mx+b

doing this we get:

4=-1(2)+b

4=-2+b

b=8

now we have the equation:

y= -x+8
