Answer:

The answer is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 Write out an expression

So since Shelby is 7 times Bonnie, Bonnie is x years old that time. So the expression is S=7x

Step 2 Plug in

Now Shelby is 98 so all u have to do is now plug in what you have in the expression.

98=7x

Step 3 solve

98=7x

divide 7 on both sides and you get:

14=x

so Bonnie is currently 14

An alligator's tail length, T, varies directly as its body length, B. An alligator with a body length of 4.5 feet has a tail

Amiraneli [1.4K]

If and only if it is a proportional relationship, the problem can be solved by creating a proportion of B1/T1=B2/T2. This can also be expressed as 4.5/3.5=5.4/x given the values. You must cross multiply, so 4.5x=3.5(5.4). This simplifies to x=4.2. So, the tail length would be 4.2 feet.

Hope this helps.

(with solution)

Lunna [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

(1)

Here m = 6 and b = - 2, then

y = 6x - 2

(2)

The equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

Here m = - 2 and b = 5, then

y = - 2x + 5 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Add 2x to both sides

2x + y = 5 ← equation in standard form

(3)

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 13) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 4, - 3)

m = $\frac{-3+13}{-4-6}$ = $\frac{10}{-10}$ = - 1 , then

y = - x + b ← is the partial equation

To find b substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (- 4, - 3 ) , then

- 3 = 4 + b ⇒ b = - 3 - 4 = - 7

y = - x - 7 ← equation in slope- intercept form

Add x to both sides

x + y = - 7 ← equation in standard form
