Let garret’s age be x
x + 2 + (x + 3) + 2 = 39
2x + 7 = 39
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16
Garrett’s age after two years = 16 + 2 = 18
y-intercept of the line would be 14 in that case.
SO, YOUR ANSWER IS 14
Answer:
The required point is P(-7,
) where, x-coordinate twice the y-coordinate on line 2x - 6y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation of line is 2x-6y=7
To find point on graph whose x-coordinate twice the y-coordinate:
Let y be y-coordinate of point
Hence, x-coordinate of point will be 2y
The required point is P(2y,y) on equation of line 2x-6y=7
Now,
2x-6y=7
2(2y)-6y=7
-2y=7
y=
Thus,
The required point is P(-7,
)
Note: Figure show equation of line red line and point P as blue dot.
To solve, set an equation:
472=0.8x
Divide both sides by 0.8
472/0.8=0.8x/0.8
x=590
Answer: The original price was $590
