Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question the point is (-1 , 2) and the slope is - 2

The equation of the line is

We have the final answer as

The average age of 4 children is 15 yrs . if the ages of their parents are added , their average age is 25 .find the age of thei

WITCHER [35]

The age of the father is 57 years old

<h3>Calculating mean of a population</h3>

Total age = Average age x Population

Average of the four children = 15

Population = 4

Total age of the four children = 15 x 4

Total age of the four children = 60 years

If the parents are added:

Population = 6

Average age = 25

Total age = 25 x 6

Total age = 150 years

Total age of the parents = 150 - 60

Total age of the parents = 110 years

The father is 4 years older than his wife

Let the age of the father be x

The age of the wife = x - 4

x + x - 4 = 110

2x = 114

x = 114/2

x = 57

Therefore, the age of the father is 57 years old

Kimora’s cell phone company charges her $35 a month for phone service plus $.05 for each text message sent. How many text messag

professor190 [17]

Given that Kimora’s cell phone company charges her $35 a month for phone service plus $.05 for each text message sent.

Kimora's cell phone bill for one month is $52.

We need to determine the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month.

Also, we need to write and equation and solve it.

<u>The equation:</u>

Let x denote the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month.

Thus, the equation is given by

$35+0.05x=52$

Therefore, the equation for the number of text messages Kimora sent for one month is $35+0.05x=52$

<u>Solving the equation:</u>

We need to solve the equation $35+0.05x=52$

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 35, we get;

$0.05x=17$

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.05, we get;

$x=340$

Therefore, the number of messages sent is 340.

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficuency of 15 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

x= 35 gallons consumed by 1st car

and y= 40 gallons consumed by 2nd car

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel efficiency of 1st car = 15 miles per gallon

Fuel efficiency of 2nd car = 35 miles per gallon

Let x= gallons consumed by 1st car

and y= gallons consumed by 2nd car

Total gallons consumed by both cars = 75

so, we can write

x + y = 75

Miles covered by both cars = 1925 miles

and we know, Fuel efficiency of 1st car = 15 miles per gallon

Fuel efficiency of 2nd car = 35 miles per gallon

we can write the equation as

15 x + 35 y = 1925

where x and y are gallons consumed by 1st and 2nd car.

We have two equation now,

x + y = 75 (1)

15 x + 35 y = 1925 (2)

Multiplying eq(1) with 15 and subtracting eq (1) and 2

15 x + 15 y = 1125

15 x + 35 y = 1925

- - -

_______________

0 - 20 y = -800

y= -800 / -20

y = 40

Putting value of y in equation 1

x + y = 75

x + 40 = 75

x= 75 - 40

x = 35

x= 35 gallons consumed by 1st car

and y= 40 gallons consumed by 2nd car
