Answer:
Age= 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be for age at the moment
(a-3)^2 =6(a+9)
a^2-6a+9=6a+54
a^2-12a-45
(a-15)(a+3)
a=15 or a=-3
Age cannot be negative (-)
Therefore
Age =15
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
for every 1 part of water there is 3 parts juice so if there's only 1 part juice it would be a 1/3
Answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Give letters, as in the attached image.
The triangles ABE and CDE are similars (AAA). In particular 
476miles per 14gallons of gas
is the same as 476 / 14 = 34
so 34miles / 1gallon of gas.
34x =578 where x is the number of gallons
578 / 34 = 17gallons
Answer:
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of equation of a line is y = mx+b
m is the slope
b is the y intercept
Get the coordinate of the point of interception of the line 2x - y = 9 and 3x - 7y = 19
Make y the subject of the formula in both expressions
For 2x - y = 9
- y = 9- 2x
y = 2x - 9
Similarly for 3x - 7y = 19
-7y = 19 - 3x
7y = 3x - 19
y = 3/7 x - 19/7
Equating both expressions
2x - 9 = 3/7 x - 19/7
Multiply through ny 7
14x - 63 = 3x - 19
14x - 3x = -19 + 63
11x = 44
x = 44/11
x = 4
Since y =2x - 9
y = 2(4) - 9
y = 8-9
y = -1
Hence the coordinate of intersection is at (4, -1)
Get the equation of the line passing through (-3, -1) and (4, -1)
Slope m = -1+1/4+3
m = 0/7
m = 0
Get the intercept
Substitute m = 0 and (-3, -1) into y = mx+b
-1 = 0(-3) + b
-1 = b
b = -1
Get the required equation
Recall that y = mx + b
y = 0x + (-1)
y = -1
Hence the required equation is y = -1
