Answer:

John is currently 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 years ago: x years

Current time: x+2

In 6 years: x+8

EQUATION:

3(x)=x+8= 3x=x+8

(subract x from both sides)

2x=8

x=4

Therefore, John is 6 years old in current time

Please help me I'm trying to pull my grade up
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you add 18x to both sides of the equation, you get 0 = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

When you combine like terms in the equation, you get -18x = -18x - 18. After adding 18x to both sides, you have 0 = -18. This is not true, which means that there are no solutions to the equation.

What is the y-intercept of f(x)=150(1.25) to the x power
masya89 [10]

Answer:

(0,150)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the y-intercept of a function is where x=0. Therefore, we need to plug in x=0 in the function to get y:

f(x)=150(1.25)^x

f(0)=150(1.25)^0

f(0)=150(1)

f(0)=150

Therefore, the y-intercept of the function is (0,150)

The digits of a two-digit number sum to 8. When the digits are reversed, the resulting number is 18 less than the original numbe
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

original number = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

In two digits number:

Let the tens place digit be x and units place digit be y.

So,

Original number = 10x + y

Number obtained after reversing the digits = 10y + x

According to the first condition:

x + y = 8.... (1)

According to the second condition:

10y + x = 10x + y - 18

10y + x - 10x - y = - 18

9y - 9x = - 18

-9(x - y) = - 18

x - y = - 18/(-9)

x - y = 2.......(2)

Adding equations (1) & (2), we find

x + y + x - y = 8 + 2

2x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Plug x = 5 in equation (1), we find:

5 + y = 8

y = 8 - 5

y = 3

10x + y = 10*5 +3 = 50 + 3 = 53

Hence, original number = 53
