Alvin is 11 years younger than Elga. The sum of their ages is 43. What is elgas age

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume x is Elgas' age

And y is Alvins age

we know that alvin is 11 years younger than Elga which means,

x=y+11

and the sum of their age is 43

x+y=43

solve it and you get 16

67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

1) Determine the slope of the parallel line

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :
