I think the trick is to add the two middle terms together. (And the 2 end terms).

8 - 12x

The variable is x. The coefficient is - 12.

8 is a constant.

The coefficient always goes with a variable.

3x^2 + 2x + 5

Nothing can be combined. The leading coefficient is 3 (which goes with the greatest power of the variable x^2 in this case) and the other coefficient is 2. 5 is a constant.

Answer:

$Slope=\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 6y = 8 ⇔ - 6y = -4x + 8 ⇔ y = 4/6x - 8/6 ⇔ y = 2/3x - 4/3

Feliz [49]

Answer:

10 years

40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let present ag e of son=x

5 years ago age of son=x-5

5 years ago age of man=7(x-5)=7x-35

present age of man=7x-35+5=7x-30

after 5 years

age of son=x+5

age of man=7x-30+5=7x-25

also 7x-25=3(x+5)

7x-25=3x+15

7x-3x=15+25

4x=40

x=10

age of son=10 years

age of man=7*10-30=70-30=40 years
