How old am i if 200 reduced by 2 times my age equals 16?

Mathematics

Anna [14]3 years ago

Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x.  So the sentence translates into an equation...

200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16

200 - 2x = 16

Now let's solve for x to find "my age"

First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x

-2x = -184

Divide each side by -2 to isolate x

x = -184/-2
x = 92

I'm 92 years old!

PLAEASE HELP ME <br>If the equation of a line is 2y+3x=3, what is the y intercept of the line?​
Alja [10]

Answer:

3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+3x=3

This represents a linear equation and the format for a linear equation is

y = mx+b

m = slope

b= y-intercept

we have to subtract 3x from both sides to make this the y=mx+b form

2y=-3x+3

and divide both sides by 2

y = (-3x+3)/2

3/2 or 1.5 is the y-intercept

the constant of a linear equation (or 3) is the y-intercept, if there is no constant then the y-intercept is 0
