Let m and j be the current ages of Matthew and Jenny, respectively.
Now, Matthew is 3 times as old as Jenny, so the variables are in the following relation:
In 7 years, both of them will be 7 years older, i.e. their ages will be m+7 and j+7, and Matthew will be twice as old:
Now, remembering that m=3j, we can rewrite the second equation as
So, Jenny is 7 and Matthew is 21 (he's 3 times older).
In fact, in 7 years, they will be 14 and 28, and Matthew will be twice as old.
Slope: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(8-2)/(1+1) = 6/2 = 3
The slope is 3

Complete Question
The Henderson Hawks minor-league baseball team is giving away baseballs an
game. The balls cost $3 each and the towels cost $2 each. The team wants to give away 200 items and have 500 to spend. How many of each item should the team give away Show your
work or explain your reasoning.
Answer:
They should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of balls = x
Let the number of towels = y
x + y = 200........ Equation 1
y = 200 - x
$3 × x + $2 × y = $5000
3x + 2y = 5000...... Equation 2
3x + 2(200 - x)= 5000
3x + 400 - 2x = 5000
Collect like terms
3x - 2x = 500 - 400
x = 100
Number of balls to be given away = 100
Note:
y = 200 - x
y = 200 - 100
y = 100
Number of towels to be given away = 100
Therefore, they should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
