Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacks age: x-14

Jack's brothers age: x

In 6 years time:

Jack's age: x-8

Jack's brother's age: x + 6

Given that:

x+6 = 2(x-8)

Simplify:

x+6 = 2x-16

x+22 = 2x

2x = x+22

x = 22

we mentioned earlier that Jack's brother's age was x. but Jack's age was x-14.

So, Jack's age: 22-14 = 8

Hope this helps.

Good Luck

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given points:
Airida [17]

Answer:

y+1=5/2(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-6-(-1))/(-4-(-2))

m=(-6+1)/(-4+2)

m=-5/-2

m=5/2

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-1)=5/2(x-(-2))

y+1=5/2(x+2)
