Amy is 9 years older than her brother john. their combined age is 23. write an expression to represent johns age (use x)

1 answer:

8 0

Let x the age of John
Amy's age = x + 9
from question, we get,
John's age + Amy's age = 23
x+(x+9)= 23
=> x + x + 9 = 23
=> 2x = 23 - 9
=> x = 14/2
=> x = 7

When graphing the inequality y ≤ 2x − 4, the boundary line needs to be graphed first. Which graph correctly shows the boundary l

Volgvan

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The boundary line follows the graph of y = 2x - 4 because it represents the line of maximum or minimum values the graph could take. y = 2x - 4 has a y-intercept of -4 because it is in slope-intercept form. It also has a slope of 2, so to find another point on the line, you can go up two and right one. Also, this inequality has a solid line because it is "less than or equal to" and a solid line represents the values that equal.
