Ayanna is 17 and Brittany is 14.
To find this, let's write two equations using the given information.
a = b + 3
3b + 2a = 76
Now, just substitute the first equation into the second and solve.
3b + 2(b + 3) = 76
3b + 2b + 6 = 76
5b = 70
b = 14
If Brittany is 14, then Ayanna is 3 years older at 17.
3 times 12 then 3 times 20
3 x 12 = 36
3 x 20 = 60
60 + 36 = 96
96 ÷ 8
One meaning of a 'linear' equation is that if you draw the graph
of the equation, the graph will be a straight line.
That's an easy way to test the equation . . . find 3 points on the
graph, and see whether they're all in a straight line.
This equation is y = 4 / x .
To find a point on the graph, just pick any number for 'x',
and figure out the value of 'y' that goes with it.
Do that 3 times, and you've got 3 points on the graph.
Here ... I'll do 3 quick points:
Point-A: x = 1 y = 4 / 1 = 4
Point-B: x = 2 y = 4 / 2 = 2
Point-C: x = 4 y = 4 / 4 = 1
Look at this:
Slope of the line from point-A to point-B
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -2 .
Slope of the line from point-B to point-C
= (change in 'y') / (change in 'x') = -1/2 .
The two pieces of line from A-B and from B-C don't even have
the same slope, so they're not pieces of the same straight line !
So my points A, B, and C are NOT in a straight line.
So the equation is NOT linear.
Try it again with three points of your own.
Answer:
The answer is 15.4
