Answer:

y = - 2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 2) into the partial equation

2 = - 10 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 10 = 12

y = - 2x + 12 ← equation of line

Solve:

x = 3(x - 20 )

Step 1: Simplify Both sides of equation:

x = 3(x - 20 )

x = (3) (x) + (3) ( - 20 ) (Distribute ):

x = 3x + - 60

x = 3x - 60

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides:

x - 3x = 3x - 60 - 3x

- 2x = - 60

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2:

- 2x / - 2 = - 60 / - 2

x = 30

Answer: Our Time Traveler is 30 years old.
