The three children are x, 2x, and x+5
So set up an equation: x+2x+x+5=57
Solve: 4x=52 so x=13
So the ages are...

13, 18, 26

Check: 13+18+26=57

Solve this system of equations using the Substitution method.<br><br> 3x + y = -2<br><br> y = 2x + 3
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we see that y = -3x-3

substitute that into the other equation to get

-3x-3 = 2x+7

-5x = 10

x = -2

so, y = -3(-2)-3 = 3

check to make sure (-2,3) solves both equations.

Which equation best represents the line graphed above
san4es73 [151]
Hi there!

The correct answer is option B

--------------------------------------------

Since x = -4 is a vertical line(perpendicular to horizontal), so there is no y-intercept and the slope is undefined.

"A vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate.

So, the slope is undefined and we also don't have the y - intercept.

------------
Credit to my graphing calculator, it looks like this ↓↓

Best of luck with your studies!
