Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 7

Discussion:

Let "x" be Kevin's current age. From the probel statement:

x + 56 = 9x.

Subtract "x" from each side:

(x-x) + 56 = 9x -x or

0 + 56 = 8x. Divide each side by 8:

56/8 = x or

7 = x

Thank you,

MrB

He is currently 47.

56-9=47 and if you switched it around it would be 47+9=56 so the answer is 47.

What are the two ways you can find the distance between points (X1,Y1) and (x2,y2) in the coordinate

igomit [66]

The first (and most typical) way to find distance of two points is by using the distance formula.

$distance=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

One alternative is the Manhattan metric, also called the taxicab metric. This option is much more complicated, and rarely used in high school math. d(x,y)=∑i|xi-yi|
