16 inches or 6 inches depends on which way you draw it
The age of Blain is 23 years old
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"
Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age
So we can frame a equation as:
age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)
a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1
Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain
Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16
b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
a = 2 + 3(a - 16)
a = 2 + 3a - 48
a - 3a = -46
-2a = -46
a = 23
Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old
Answer:
The point slope formula states (y-y1)=m(x-x1)
Where m is the slope and (x1 y1) is a point the line passes through
Substituting the point and slope from the problem give
(y-5)=-2(x-3) ~answer
15ft because 12x.25=3 so 3ft is 25% of the 12ft, add the 3+12=15
