Nick is now seven times as old as Harry. In 6 years, Nick will be five times as old as Harry. How old will Harry be in 6 years?

If x represents Harry's age now, then which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem? 5(7x + 6) = x + 6 7x = 5x + 6 7x + 6 = 5 (x + 6)

Answer:

7x+6 = 5(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents Harry's age now, so 7x represents Nick's age now. (Nick is 7 times as old as Harry.)

In 6 years, Harry's age will be x+6.

In 6 years, Nick's age will be 7x+6, which is 5 times Harry's age at that time, 5(x+6). Hence an appropriate equation is ...

... 7x+6 = 5(x+6)

_____

Please note that finding the value of x does not give the answer to the question. We are asked for Harry's age in 6 years, so the answer is x+6 (=18).

Can someone help out I’m really slow at this and don’t understand it please:)
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

2) 160

3) 320

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to find out the slope so use the formula

y₂-y₁/ x₂-x₁ and plug in the numbers

320-80=240

4-1=3

divide 240/3= 80

multiply 80 * (x) so if we try and find x=2 it would be 160

80 * 3 = 240

check your work by multiplying 80 and 4 (320) which is your y value! hope this helps!

What is the slope of the following linear equation y + 2x = 5 ?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. Since the given equation is not in the exact slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it to identify the slope.

y + 2x = 5                         <----- Given equation

y = -2x + 5                       <----- Subtract 2x from both sides

Now, we can see that in the "m" position, there is a value of -2. This makes the slope = -2.
