X=Tom´s age
y=Tim´s age.
we suggest this system of equations:
x+y=21
(x+3)=2(y+3)
We solve this system of equations by susbstitution method.
x=21-y
[(21-y)+3]=2(y+3)
24-y=2y+6
-y-2y=6-24
-3y=-18
y=-18/-3=6
x=21-y
x=21-6=15.
Answer: Tom is 15 years old, and Tim is 6 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y= -2/5 x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
So the equation is y=mx+b. Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. To find b, you would see at what point does the line cross the y axis. That would be at -4 so, -4 would be the b or y-intercept. To find m, you would take two points on the line and use this equation:
m=(y2 - y1 )/(x2 - x1)
If you were using the points, (-10,0) and (0, -4) the equation would be:
m=(-4-0) / (0+10)
So, m= -2/5
The equation of the line would end up being:
y= -2/5 x -4
Answer:
72.7
Step-by-step explanation:
First multiply 72 by 10
because 72 is 72 10s, making it a whole number.
then add 720 (72 times 10) to 7.
then all of that over 10.
then just divide.
727/10
72.7
this is what you do for all mixed numbers like that one.
