Yo sup??

The x intercept can be found out by putting y=0 in the equation

2x=12

x=6

the x intercept is 6

similarly the y intercept can be found out by placing x=0

-3y=12

y=-4

the y intercept is -4

Hope this helps

Answer:

$x=-1 \ or \ x=-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = x^2 + 5x +2\\y = x-1\\\\$

Equating both equations equal to each other:

$x^2 + 5x+2 = x-1\\x^2+5x+2 -x +1 =0\\x^2 + 4x +3 = 0$

Breaking the middle term:

$x^2 + 4x +3 =0\\x^2 +3x + x +3 =0 \\x(x+3) +1 (x+3) = 0\\(x+1)(x+3)=0\\x+1 =0 \ or \ x+3 =0\\x=-1 \ or \ x=-3$

Bill is 15 years older than Paul. Paul is 7 years older than half Milo's age. The sum of all three ages is 85. How old is Bill?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Milo's age = x

$Paul's \ age =\dfrac{1}{2}x+7\\\\\\Bill's \ age = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 7 +15 =\dfrac{1}{2}x+22$

Sum of all three ages = 85

$x +\dfrac{1}{2}x+7 +\dfrac{1}{2}x+22 = 85\\x +\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}x+7+22 =85\\2x+29=85\\ 2x = 85-29\\\\ 2x = 56\\\\ x = \dfrac{56}{2}\\\\x =28 \ years\\\\\\Bill's \ age =\dfrac{1}{2}x+22 =\dfrac{1}{2}*28+22\\\\\\= 14+22\\$

Bill's age = 36 years
