Let Morgan = X

Then Mary = 5X ( 5 times as old).

The sum is 72, so 5x +x = 72

5x +x = 6x:

6x = 72

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 72 / 6

x = 12

Morgan is 12 years old.

Mary is 5(12) = 60 years old.

What is the rate of change of the equation y=0.86x+3.302

Alchen [17]

The rate of change of the given equation is: 0.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change or slope is the steepness of a linear function or line.

When an equation is given in the form of slope-intercept form, the co-efficient of x is the slope or rate of change of the equation.

Given equation is:

$y=0.86x+3.302$

We can see that the co-efficient of x is 0.86

Hence,

The rate of change of the given equation is: 0.86
