Answer:

There present ages are

Drex age = 17 years

Max age  =  12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as ,

The sum of age of Drex and Max = 29 years

And seven years ago Drex was twice as old as max

So , Let the Age of Drex = D   and Max age = M

I.e (D - 7 ) = 2 (M - 7)

Or, D - 7 = 2M - 14

Or, 2M - D = 7

And Also D + M = 29  

So , from both equations

(2M - D ) + (D + M) = 29 +7

Or,  3M = 36

I.e M = \frac{36}{3} = 12 years

∴ The Age of Drex = 29 - M

  The Age of Drex = 29 - 12 = 17 years

Hence there present ages are

The Age of Drex = 17 years

The Age of Max = 12 years     Answer

Q6.

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have: slope m = 3, y-intercept (0, 4) → b= 4

<h3>Answer: y = 3x + 4</h3>

Q7.

2x + 4y = 4     |subtract 2x from both sides

4y = -2x + 4     |divide both sides by 4

y = -0.5x + 1

Only second graph has y-intercept = 1.

<h3>Answer: The second graph.</h3>

Q8.

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have

(-16,\ 8)\to x_1=-16,\ y_1=8\\(4,\ -2)\to x_2=4,\ y_2=-2

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-2-8}{4-(-16)}=\dfrac{-10}{20}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\y-8=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-16))\\\\y-8=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x+16)

<h3>Answer: The first equation.</h3>

Q9.

It's a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is x = <em>a</em>, where <em>a</em> is any real number.

<h3>Answer: x = -4</h3>

Ksenya-84 [330]

A. The equation to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is: \frac{x}{20}+\frac{x}{12}+900= 1200 , where x is the distance.

B.  The flowerbed is 2250 feet far from the hive.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is x feet.

The bee flies 20 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive and flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second.

As, Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

So, the time taken by the bee to reach the flowerbed = \frac{x}{20} seconds and the time taken to fly back to the hive =\frac{x}{12} seconds.

The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes or (15×60)seconds or 900 seconds and it is away from the hive for a total of 20 minutes or (20×60)seconds or 1200 seconds.

So, the equation will be.......

\frac{x}{20}+\frac{x}{12}+900= 1200\\ \\ \frac{3x+5x}{60}= 300\\ \\ 8x= 60*300\\ \\ 8x=18000\\ \\ x=\frac{18000}{8}=2250

Thus, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is 2250 feet.
