Answer: Albert's grand father is 50 years older that Albert this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Albert's age this year.

Let x represent Albert's grandfather age this year.

This year Albert and his grandfather's ages total to 64 years. This means that

x + y = 64- - - -- - - - - -1

In 3 years, Albert's grandfather will be 6 times as old. This means that

y + 3 = 6(x + 3)

y + 3 = 6x + 18

y = 6x + 18 - 3

y = 6x + 15

Substituting y = 6x + 15 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 6x + 15 = 64

7x = 64 - 15 = 49

x = 49/7

x = 7

y = 6x + 15 = 6 × 7 + 15

y = 57

The difference between their ages is 57 - 7 = 50 years

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,-6) and (-2,3)
yarga [219]

Here is your answer and an explanation

Answer: y = -2/3x

Explanation:

This can be determined by calculating the gradient of the straight line, using:

m=ΔyΔx

=−6−34−(−2)

=−96

=−32

Then we use the slope-point form of the straight line:

y−y1=m(x−x1)

to give:

y−3=−32(x−(−2))

∴y−3=−32(x+2)

∴y−3=−32x−3

∴y=−32x

Does anyone know this? Needed ASAP
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

50 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula provided, a = \frac{1}{2}h(b_1+b_2), substituting the height (5), b1 (8) and b2 (12), we can solve for the formula.

a = \frac{1}{2}\cdot5(8+12)\\\\a = \frac{1}{2}\cdot5(20)\\\\a = \frac{1}{2}100\\\\a = 50

Hope this helped!
