Answer:

<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Paul = x

Age of Selena = x -6

Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:

x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)

x + 15 = 4x - 24

x - 4x = -24 - 15

- 3x = -39

x = 13

<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>

Their present ages :

Paul = 13

Selena = 7

<h3>Further Explanation </h3>

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one.

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax = b}}

or

<h3>ax + b = c, </h3>

where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable

Whereas the two-variable linear equation is a linear equation that has 2 variables and the exponent is one

Can be stated in the form:

\large {\boxed {\bold {ax + bx = c}}}

x, y = variable

In the statement of the task:

  • Selena is 6 years younger than Paul.

can be stated in the equation:

Selena (S) = Paul (P) -6 ⇒S = P-6 ⇒equation 1

  • In 15 years, Paul will be 4 times the age that Selena is now.

The equation: 15 + P = 4S⇒equation 2

Equation 1 is substituted into equation 2 so that it becomes:

15 + P = 4 (P-6)

So the solution is:

15+P = 4P-24

15+24 = 3P

39 = 3P

P = 13

From equation 1

S = P - 6

S = 13 - 6

S = 7

How to test a function graphically​
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Inspect the graph to see if any vertical line drawn would intersect the curve more than once. If there is any such line, the graph does not represent a function. If no vertical line can intersect the curve more than once, the graph does represent a function.

that is known as the vertical line test
