<span>1. Martina is given to be 14 years older than Joey who is x years old. Hence, the age of Martina can be expressed as, x + 14
 2. If Joey's current age is x then in 5 years he will become x+5 years old.
 3. Martina's age will be her current age added with 5 making it, x+14+5 or x + 19.
4. The equation that would best represent the given scenario in this item is: x + 19 = 3(x + 5)
 5. From the given above, the value of x is equal to 2. This is Joey's current age.
 6. The current age of Martina is x + 14 which is equal to 16.</span>

245. 202, 254, 245, 276<br>Write the values from least to<br>greatest<br>Mean<br>Median:<br>Mode:​
Burka [1]

Answer:

The values from least to greatest would be 202, 245, 245, 254, 276

The mean would be 244.4

The median would be 245

The mode would be 245

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, you add all the numbers together and divide that sum by the number of numbers. In this case, you add all the numbers together and you get 1222. Next, you divide that by 5 because there are 5 numbers. To find the median, you order the numbers from least to greatest and find the middle number. For this question, the answer would be 245. Lastly, to find the mode you look for the number that appears the most. In this case it's 245.

Enter an equation in point-slope form for the line.
NISA [10]

Answer:

y + 1 = 3(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Here m = 3 and (a, b) = (- 8, - 1) , thus

y - (- 1) = 3(x - (- 8)), that is

y + 1 = 3(x + 8)

Investment of 1000 at 16% interest rate for 20 years
andreev551 [17]
This might be wrong but, 320.

I used the formula for simple interest which is I=Prt, thus giving me this:

I = 1000 (.016) (20)

Hope this helps at all!

Determine whether the equation represents a direct variation. If it does, find the constant of variation. 2y=5x+1
coldgirl [10]
It does represent a direct variation.

Direct variation: y = kx
y varies directly with x

Your equation 2y = 5x + 1 is in the form of y = kx but we need to divide out the 2 from 2y so we have the following
2y = 5x + 1
2y / 2 = 5 x/ 2 + 1/2
y = 5x / 2  + 1/2
y = kx
k = 5/2
k = constant of variation = 5/2
