Answer:

3x+4 Ralph is currently 12 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the equation by reading the scenario given. When you read it, it says that Ralph is 3 times as old as Sara and since her current age is going to be used to represent x you will first get 3x. That automatically eliminates the second and third choice given. It then says the equation is for Ralph's age in four years which means to add four to the equation. This gives you 3x+4 as your equation.

When something is tripled and then in a few years it is doubled, it is easiest to first try the number that is being added. So in this case the number is four. When you multiply 4 by 3 you get 12. If Sara is 4 she'll turn eight in four years and if Ralph is 12 he'll turn 16 in four years. 16 divided by 2 is 8 which shows you that Ralph is currently 12

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 70 feet and a leg of 35 feet. What is the length of the other leg?
Hunter-Best [27]
We are given the two sides of the right triangle therefore we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the third side. This theorem states that, in a right triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of each leg.

c² = a² + b²
70² = 35² + b²
b = √70² - 35²
b = 60.62 feet

If a line with a slope of -2 crosses the yaxis at (0,3) what is the equation of the line
Sliva [168]

Answer:

y=-2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that with the provided information they are given you not ust the slope of the line (-2), but also the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis which happens when x=0).

So you can directly write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form [y=mx+b where "m" is the slope and "b" the y-value when x=0].

Such gives us:

y=-2x+3
