Let x = Wally's age now
Then, 3x = Jose's age now
Wally's age 5 years from now = x+5
Jose's age 5 years from now = 3x+5
(x+5) + (3x+5) = 42
4x + 10 = 42
4x = 32 x = 8
Wally is 8 years old and Jose is 24.
Answer:
y = - 2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y =
x - 9 ← is in slope- intercept form
with m = 
given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is
= -
= -
= - 2
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute (3, 2 ) into the partial equation
2 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = 2 + 6 = 8
y = - 2x + 8 ← equation of perpendicular line
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
This means that 12/(2x+1)=8/(x+4). Cross multiply to get 16x + 8 = 12x + 48. Subtract 12x + 8 from both sides to get 4x = 40, so x = 10.
