Answer: 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise let "x" represents your present age.

According to the information provided in the exercise, you know that In three years, Chad will be three times your present age.

Then, your age in three years can be represented with the following expression:

$x+3$

Knowing at that time Chad's age will be three times yours and you will be half as old as old as Chad, you can write the following equation to represent this situation:

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

Therefore, the final step is to solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

$2(x+3)=3x\\\\2x+6=3x\\\\6=3x-2x\\\\x=6$

Write an equation for the line in slope-intercept form.

Answer:

y=3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is rise/run. To find it, you first see how many units it goes up, followed by how many units it goes to the right. If you look at the point (-1, 2), it rises 3 tiles, and runs 1 tile until it hits the next whole number. Because your little formula is rise/run, it would be 3/1, or 3. And to get your y-intercept, it's just when it intersects the y-axis, which is at 5. So, your equation would be y=3x+5

If y varies inversely as the square of x, and y = 1/8 when x = 1, find y when x = 5.

Kisachek [45]

Y = k / x² ( y varies inversely as the square of x )
y = 1/8 when x = 1:
1/8 = k / 1²
8 k = 1
k = 1/8
For x = 5:
y = 1/8 / 5² = 1/8 : 25 = 1/8 · 1/25 = 1/200
Answer: A ) 1/200
