So,
We are trying to figure out when Grandpa Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
Let x represent the number of years before/after when G. Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
66 + x = 2(37 + x)
Distribute.
66 + x = 74 + 2x
Subtract x from both sides.
66 = 74 + x
Subtract 74 from both sides.
-8 = x
So 8 years ago, G. Lopez was twice as old as Dad. Let's check that.
66 - 8 = 58
37 = 8 = 29
29 * 2 = 58
58 = 58
It checks.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
I knew I would have 1 foot left so that made sure it wasn’t A then I knew that it the answer had to be in yards so I convert 8 feet into yards which becomes 2.7 so it’s not three which makes I’m not C. So 9 yards minus 2.7 yards would equal the answer B
If B=0, and A≠0, then
Ax+C=0, or x=-C/A, a constant value.
This signifies L is a vertical line with slope ∞
