Answer:

John’s age is 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> John’s father's age

y -----> John’s age

z -----> John’s sister's age

we know that

x=5y -----> equation A

y=2z

z=y/2 -----> equation B

(x+2)+(y+2)+(z+2)=58

x+y+z+6=58

x+y+z=52  -----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y

5y+y+y/2=52

Multiply by 2 both sides to remove the fraction

10y+2y+y=104

13y=104

y=8

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=5(8)=40

<em>Find the value of z</em>

z=8/2=4

therefore

John’s father's age is 40 years

John’s age is 8 years

John’s sister's age is 4 years

Find the equation of the linear function represented by the table below in slope-intercept form.
Degger [83]

Answer:

y=10x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

we have

(0,-6) and (1,4)

The slope is equal to

m=(4+6)/(1-0)=10

step 2

Find the equation of the line in slope intercept form

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

y=mx+b

we have

m=10

b=-6 -----> y-intercept (given value in the table)

substitute

y=10x-6

What value of z solves the equation
lesya [120]
Z would have to be 4. Cause it's reverse squared. So 4^-2 would be 1/16 but its 4^-3 so it's 1/64.
