Answer:

Karen: 15; Dale: 9; Tom: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

"Karen and Dale and Tom sent a total of 84 messages during the weekend."

k + d + t = 84

"Dale sent six fewer messages than Karen"

d = k - 6

"Tom sent four times as many as Karen."

t = 4k

Substitute k - 6 for d and 4k for t in the first equation.

k + d + t = 84

k + k - 6 + 4k = 84

6k - 6 = 84

6k = 90

k = 15

d = k - 6 = 16 - 6 = 9

t = 4k = 4(15) = 60

Answer: Karen: 15; Dale: 9; Tom: 60

Consider the line y=-5/9x+6
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope form of a straight line

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Here m = -5/9 , x1 = 9 and y1 = -3:, so

y - -3 = -5/9(x - 9)

y + 3 = -5/9x + 5

y = -5/9x + 2  is the equation parallel to the given line.

The  line perpendicular to the given line will have a slope of - 1 / -5/9

= 9/5 so its equation is

y  + 3 = 9/5(x - 9)

y = 9/5x - 81/5 - 3

y = 9/5x - 96/5 .
