For the first one multiply each term by the LCM of 4 and 6, which is 12:-
15x -36 = 2y..................(1)
and second multiply by 5:-
2x + y = 9..............(2)
solving:-
from equation (2) y = 9-2x, substitute in equation (1):-
15x - 36 = 2(9-2x) = 18 - 4x
19x = 54
x = 54/19 = 2.84
so y = 9 - 2(2.84) = 3.32
Answer:
slope = 4

Answer:
John is currently 6 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 years ago: x years
Current time: x+2
In 6 years: x+8
EQUATION:
3(x)=x+8= 3x=x+8
(subract x from both sides)
2x=8
x=4
Therefore, John is 6 years old in current time
