Answer:

His age is 7 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Rehman's  present age be x years.

1 / (x - 3) + 1 /(x + 5) = 1/3

Multiply through by the LCD 3(x - 3)(x + 5):

3(x + 5) + 3(x - 3) = (x + 5)(x - 3)

3x + 15 + 3x - 9 = x^2 + 2x - 15

x^2 + 2x - 6x - 30 + 9 = 0

x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0

(x - 7)(x + 3) = 0

x = 7  (answer).

a straight line has a equation 4x + 3y = 12 . find the gradient of the line and the coordinates of the point where this line cro
Komok [63]
4x + 3y = 12
3y = -4x + 12
y = -4/3x + 4........so the slope (or gradient) is -4/3...because in y = mx + b form, the slope(gradient) is in the m position and the y int is in the b position....so if u wanted to know the y axis, it would be (0,4)

the x intercept (where the line crosses the x axis) can be found by subbing in 0 for y in the original equation or the slope intercept equation, and solving for x.
4x + 3(0) = 12
4x = 12
x = 12/4 = 3....so the x intercept is (3,0)

Help? I'm pretty confuse on both of these? Please explain?

35 is the first answer (BAE ~ DAC)
36. We must divide 20 by 2 to get 10 because all the other sides are 2x the size. 3x-5=10   (Add 5) 3x=15 (Divide by 3) x=5 so the last answer choice is correct.
