Answer:
1) James brother is 10-x years old
2) James was 3 years ago x-3 years old
3) James brother was 3 years ago 7-x years old
4) 3(x-3)=7-x
5) James is 4 years old, his brother is 6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
3) 10 - x - 3 = 7 - x
5) 3* James age 3 years ago = James brothers age 3 years ago
<=> 3*(x-3) = 7-x
<=> 3x - 9 = 7 - x
<=> 4x = 16
<=> x = 4
Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation:
Note x^2y + xy^2 = xy(x+y)
We know xy = 5 and x+y = 5, so
5*5=25
Answer:
Slope is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:
Step 1 - 
Step 2 - 
Step 3 - 
So lets start by doing step one.
All we need is to look for two x values. Lets use 5 and 6:
6-5=1
So 1 is our change of x. This is our 1st step.
Next we can use 2 y values, note that these should be the 2 y values that go wiht the x values above. So this means we have to use -3 and -1:
-1-(-3) = 2
So 2 is our change in y. This is our 2nd step.
Now lets plug this into:
:

So our slope is 2. Completing our 3rd and final step.
Hope this helps!
Submarine: -730
Airplane: 9,144
|-730-9,144|=|-9,874|=9,874
|d|: absolute value
The vertical distance between the submarine and airplane is 9,874 meters.
