Answer:

The wise man is 64 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

"400 reduced by 3 times my age is 208"

we don't know the man's age, so we can substitute it for x. This means 400-3x=208. Using this equation, we can now solve for x to find the man's age.

400-3x=208

400-208=3x

192=3x

64=x

Checking answer:

400-3•64=

400-192=208

Write the equation for a line that passes through the point (-8,2) and is parallel to 5x-4y=4. Enter your equation in slope inte

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

y = 5/4x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 4y = 4

-4y = -5x + 4

y = (-5x + 4)/-4

y = 5/4x - 1

Parallel Slope ---> m = 5/4

(-8, 2)

y = mx + b

2 = 5/4(-8) + b

2 = 5 * -2 + b

2 = -10 + b

12 = b

b = 12

y = 5/4x + 12 <---- This is the answer

Hope this helps!
