Lets consider SAM's age is 'x' and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.
So the Hank's age is 9 years

This is in slope-intercept form, so you can think of it as being y=mx+b. Invert m (the slope) and flip its sign, and then substitute the x and y values in and solve for b. The answer is y=7/2x-20.
Answer:
The slope is .075 and the y intercept is -.125
Step-by-step explanation:
8y = .2(3x -5)
Distribute the .2
8y = .6x - 1
Divide by 8
8y/8 = .6x/8 -1/8
y = .075x -.125
This is in slope intercept form y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope is .075 and the y intercept is -.125
