Answer:
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Dally's age = x
Dilly's age = x - 7
In 4 years time Dilly will be half Dally’s age, therefore:
Dilly's age plus four equals to half of Dally’s age plus four,
replacing with the values and variables we know:
x - 7 + 4 = (x + 4) /2
x - 3 = (x + 4) /2
2x - 6 = x + 4 (Multiplying by 2 at both sides)
2x - x = 4 + 6 (Like terms)
x = 10 ⇒ x - 7 = 3
<u>The sum of their ages now is 13 (10 + 3)</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Slope of the given line = -3
slope of the perpendicular line = 1/3
y - 0 = 1/3(x-9)
y = 1/3x - 3
2) slope of the parallel line = -3
y - 0 = -3(x-9)
y = -3x + 27
