The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
We have then:
x = Tim's age
Now we write the equation:
x + 7 = 3 (x-19)
Answer:
Tim's age in 7 years will be three times what it was 19 years ago:
x + 7 = 3 (x-19)
a = amount (in oz) of solution A
b = amount of solution B
The scientist wants a mixture of 110 oz, so
a + b = 110
Solution A consists of 65% salt, so each ounce of solution A contributes 0.65 oz of salt; similarly, each ounce of B contributes 0.9 oz. The mixture is supposed to consist of 75% salt, which amounts to 0.75 * (110 oz) = 82.5 oz of salt. So
0.65 a + 0.9 b = 82.5
Solve for a and b:
b = 110 - a
0.65 a + 0.9 (110 - a) = 82.5
0.65 a + 99 - 0.9 a = 82.5
0.25 a = 16.5
a = 66 ==> b = 44
Answer: Y=-1/4x
Step-by-step explanation:
A good way to find an equation of a line is to look for the slope. An obvious spot on this line would be when it crosses (0,0), and another one to the right would be when it crosses at (4,-1).
The slope is rise over run, or if we use the two points we found, "rise" would be -1, because it's dropping 1 unit when going from (0,0) to (4,-1), and the "run" would be 4, because it moves to the right 4 from (0,0) to (4,-1).
Putting these two values together we get:
m (slope) = rise / run
m = -1 / 4
Out of all the equations we're given, we can look for the one with a slope of -1/4, which is given to us:
y = (-1/4)x
