Answer:

Sydney is 52 years old, and Tristan is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Tristan's age by t and Sydney's by s.

Then s - 8 = 2(t - 8), and t = s - 22

Substituting s - 22 in the first equation, we get:

s - 8 = 2(s - 22 - 8), or

s - 8 = 2s - 60

Solving for s: -2s + s = -60 + 8, or -s = -52.

Sydney is 52 years old, and Tristan is 30.

What is the equation for the line

Pavel [41]

The model equation for any line is
y = mx + b,
where m is slope and b is y-intercept (where the line intersects the y-axis).

The slope is change in y over change in x. You can find the slope by picking two points. The numerator will be the difference in y-coordinates, and the denominator will be the difference in x-coordinates.
As an equation, this is
slope = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ ,
where the two points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

Let's pick two points to find the slope: (0, 5) and (3, -7).
The slope is
$\frac{-7-5}{3-0} = \frac{-12}{3} = -4$

Now that we have the slope m = -4, we need to find the y-intercept b. The line crosses the y-axis at 5, so b = 5.

The equation is y = -4x + 5

(6x^2+5x+1)/(3x^2+4x+1)
= (3x+1)(2x+1)/(3x+1)(x+1)
= (2x+1)/(x+1)
