<h3><u>Question:</u></h3>

Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christopher. 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher. How old is Christoper now?

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The present age of Christoper is 42 years old

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Ishaan is 2 times as old as Christoper

Let the present age of Christoper be "x"

Then, Present age of Ishaan = 2 times as old as Christoper

present age of Ishaan = 2x

<em><u>35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher</u></em>

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = Present age of Ishaan - 35

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 2x - 35

Similarly,

Age of christoper 35 years ago = Present age of christoper - 35

Age of christoper 35 years ago = x - 35

From given statement, 35 years ago, Ishaan was 7 times as old as Christopher

Age of Ishaan 35 years ago = 7 times the age of Christoper 35 years ago

(2x - 35) = 7(x - 35)

<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

2x - 35 = 7x - 245

2x - 7x = -245 + 35

-5x = -210

<h3>x = 42</h3>

Thus present age of Christoper is 42 years old

You move down 6 units. You end at (10, 4). Where did you start?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

(10,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

coordinates are (x,y)

x is horizontal(left and right), y is vertical (up and down)

going down 6 means subtracting 6 from the second number

lets reverse that to go up and add 6 back

4+6=10

so the original point was (10,10)

Answer:

The equation of required line is: \mathbf{5x-8y+34=0}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write equation in the form Ax+By+C=0 of the line parallel to 5x-8y+12=0 and through the point (-2,3)

First we need to find slope and y-intercept of the required line.

Using equation of line  5x-8y+12=0 to find slope.

Since the given line and required lines are parallel there slope is same.

Writing equation in slope intercept form: y=mx+b where m is slope.

5x-8y+12=0 \\-8y=-5x-12\\\frac{-8y}{-8y}=\frac{-5x}{-8}-\frac{12}{-8}\\y=\frac{5}{8}x+\frac{3}{4}

So, the slope m = 5/8

The slope of required line is m=\frac{5}{8}

Now finding y-intercept using slope m=\frac{5}{8} and point(-2,3)

y=mx+b\\3=\frac{5}{8}(-2)+b\\3=\frac{-5}{4}+b\\b=3+\frac{5}{4}\\b=\frac{3*4+5}{4}\\b=\frac{12+5}{4}\\b=\frac{17}{4}

So, the equation of required line having slope m=\frac{5}{8}  and y-intercept b=\frac{17}{4}

y=mx+b\\y=\frac{5}{8}x+\frac{17}{4}\\y=\frac{5x+17*2}{8}\\y= \frac{5x+34}{8}  \\8y=5x+34\\5x-8y+34=0

So, The equation of required line is: \mathbf{5x-8y+34=0}
