           <u>Today</u>          <u>2 years ago</u>

Chris:   x + 3            (x + 3) - 2   = x + 1

Nathan: 18               (18) - 2       = 16

Jacob:   x                (x) - 2          = x - 2

Chris + Nathan + Jacob = sum

x + 1  +     16     +   x - 2   = 59

                            2x - 15 = 59   <em>added like terms (x and x) and (1, 16, and -2)</em>

                                   2x = 74   <em>added 15 to both sides</em>

                                     x = 37    <em>divided both sides by 2</em>

Answer: Jacob is 37 yrs old

hookes law gives the equation F=kx where F is the elastic force and k is the constant and x or small e is extension if we draw a graph you'll see that the graph increases by the same ratio every single time hence giving a straight line show that they are F and x are propotional to a certain limit
