Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
The point at which the lines k(x) = 5x - 1 and h(x) = -3x - 1 meet is (0, -1)
Given: k(x) = 5x - 1, h(x) = -3x - 1
We need to find the point(if any) at which these two lines k and h meets.
To find point of intersection(if any), we need to set the functions equal as at the point of intersection the (x, y) value will be same for both of the lines.
Therefore, k(x) = h(x)
=> 5x - 1 = -3x - 1
=> 8x = 0
=> x = 0
k(x=0) = 5 * 0 - 1 = -1
Hence the point at which the lines k(x) = 5x - 1 and h(x) = -3x - 1 meet is (0, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:
x- red candy
y- blue candy
x + y = 11
1.29x + .79y = 11.19
129x +79y = 1119
-129x -129y = -1419
-50y = -300
y = 6 lbs. blue
x + 6 = 11
x = 5 lbs. red
