X should equal -6/11 if I read the equation right
Answer:
Age of son = 6 years
Age of man = 5×6 = 30 years
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>GIVEN :-</u>
- A man is 5 times as old as his son. (In Present)
- 4 years ago , the man was 13 times as old as his son
<u>TO FIND :-</u>
- The present ages of the man & his son.
<u>SOLUTION :-</u>
Let the present age of son be 'x'.
⇒ Present age of man = 5x
4 years ago ,
Age of son = (Present age of son) - 4 = x - 4
Age of man = (Present age of man) - 4 = 5x - 4
The man was thirteen times as old as his son. So,

Now , solve the equation.
- Open the brackets in R.H.S.

- Take 5x to R.H.S. and -52 to L.H.S. Also , take care of their signs because they are getting displaced from L.H.S. to R.H.S. or vice-versa.


- Divide both the sides by 8


<u>CONCLUSION :-</u>
Age of son = 6 years
Age of man = 5×6 = 30 years
2x^-2y^-2 = 2/x^2y^2 = 2/(2)^2 x (3)2 = 2/4 x 9 = 2/36 = 1/18
I would think that all but one point would be on the line. One way to approach this problem is to find the equation of the line based upon any two points chosen at random, and then determine whether or not the other points satisfy this equation. Next time, would you please enclose the coordinates of each point inside parentheses: (2.5,14), (2.25,12), and so on, to avoid confusion.
14-12
slope of line thru 1st 2 points is m = ---------------- = 2/0.25 = 8
2.50-2.25
What is the eqn of the line: y = mx + b becomes
14 = (8)(2.5) + b; find b:
14-20 = b = -6. Then, y = 8x - 6.
Now determine whether (12,1.25) lies on this line.
Is 1.25 = 8(12) - 6? Is 1.25 = 90? No. So, unless I've made arithmetic mistakes, (1.25, 5) does not lie on the line thru (2.5,14) and (2.25,12).
Why not work this problem out yourself using my approach as a guide?
