K=kevin age
d=daniel ae

k is 3 times d
k=3d

4 years ago (k-4 and d-4)
kevin was 5 times as old as dan

k-4=5(d-4)

we have
k=3d
and
k-4=5(d-4)
sub 3d for k in second euaiton
3d-4=5(d-4)
3d-4=5d-20
minus 3d both sides
-4=2d-20
add 20 both sides
16=2d
divide 2
8=d
sub back
k=3d
k=3(8)
k=24

kevin is 24

K = Kevin's age
D = Daniel's age

K = 3D

K - 4 = 5(D - 4)

Plug in 3D for the K values in the second equation.

3D - 4 = 5(D - 4)   Use the Distributive Property
3D - 4 = 5D - 20   Add 4 to both sides
     3D = 5D - 16     Subtract 5D from both sides
    -2D = -16            Divide both sides by -2
       D = 8 
 Now, plug that D value into the original equation.

K = 3D    Plug in the D value
K = 3(8)   Multiply
K = 24

Finally, you can double check your math.

4 years ago, Daniel would've been 4 and Kevin would be 20, so Kevin would've been 5 times as old as Daniel.  And 8 x 3 = 24.

So, Kevin is 24.

75 percent of 104 is the same as 80 percent of what number?
Mashutka [201]
104*.75=78
78/8=9.75(divide by 8 because 80%/8=10%)
9.75*10=97.5
97.5*.8=78

75% of 104 is 78 which is also 80% of 97.5

Your answer is 97.5

How do I find point-slope form???
Nana76 [90]
I believe the answer is: By using the point slope formula, which states that a given point (x1, y1) and a slope m, the equation of the line can be written as y - y1 = m(x - x1)

The difference between 32.6 and a number is 10.2. Which equation can be used to solve this problem? 32.6 minus y = 10.2 y minus
guapka [62]

Answer:

32.6 - y= 10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve this problem can be written as

32.6 - y= 10.2

Where y is the number that was substracted from 32.6.

If we make y subject of formula we have

y= (32.6-10.2)

y=22.4

Which means the number that was substracted from 32.6 is 22.4 and there difference is 10.2
