Answer:

Carlos is 35 years old now

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is x years old now

∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen

- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33

∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now

2 years ago

∵ Carlos's age = x - 2

∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31

∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age

- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age

∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 31 = x - 4

- Add 4 to both sides

∴ 35 = x

∵ x represents Carlos's age now

∴ Carlos is 35 years old now

What is the slope and y-intercept of line q graphed below?
beks73 [17]

The correct answer is C) 1/3 and (0, 1)

The y-intercept part is somewhat simple. In order for it to be a y-intercept, the x value of the ordered pair must be 0. That is only true in B and C, therefore they are the only possible answers.

To find the slope, we must choose two points on the line and use the slope formula. We can start by using the y-intercept (0, 1) and also (3, 2). Now we use the slope formula.

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

In this equation m is equal to slope, the first point is (x1, y1) and the second point is (x2, y2)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (2 - 1)/(3 - 0)

m = 1/3

Now knowing the slope, you can match this with answer C.

What is the solution to the proportion 3y-8/12=y/5? can someone help me do this?
RideAnS [48]
   
\displaystyle\\
 \frac{3y-8}{12} = \frac{y}{5}  \\  \\ 
5(3y-8)=12y\\\\
15y-40=12y\\\\
3y = 40\\\\
\boxed{y =  \frac{40}{3}}
