Answer:
Graphing
Step-by-step explanation:
1) You can graph this equation by using y=mx+b. You can replace that equation with y=3x-1.
M=3
X=x
B=-1
On a graph you would down 1 since it's negative and make a point. Then you would put a 1 under the 3 to make it a fraction. 3/1. Then you would divide 1 by 3 (1 ÷ 3). Then you would go to the right 0.33 because it's positive, and the up 1. Then you would make a second point.
This would only give you one line which wouldn't give you an intersection.
Tan (60) = y/ 5
y = tan(60) * 5
and you know tan(60) = √3
so
y = 5√3
answer
5√3 (exact value)
Riley's age = r
Riley's brother's age = r/4
If Riley was 11 five years ago, Riley is currently 11 + 5 years old, or 16 years old.
Now we just need to use r/4 to find Riley's brother's age:
16 /4 = 4
Riley's brother is 4 years old.
Hope this helps!
