Serggg [28]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are going to make an age table:

                       Age Now                 Age 10 years ago

Tanya

Elliot

Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:

            Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya         x

Elliot         2x

Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:

         Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya     x                              x - 10

Elliot      2x                           2x - 10

Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:

10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:

2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and

2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and

-2x = -30 so

x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15

First, solve for the slope. This can be found by looking at the y and x intercepts. At x = 0, y = 1.5. At x = 2, y = 0.

Slope is defined as Δy/Δx, or the change in y over the change in x. This means that in order to calculate the slope, you must find the difference between the values of y and divide it by the difference in the values of x for the two points to determine the slope between them.

(0 - 1.5)/(2-0) = (-1.5)/2 = -0.75 or -3/4

Now that you have the slope, we can write the equation in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope we calculated and b is the y intercept, 1.5.

y = (-3/4)x + 1.5

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Answer:

4.8 gigabytes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of gigabytes of data = x

Xavier pays a flat cost of $44 per month and $3 per gigabyte. He wants to keep his bill at $58.40 per month.

The above expression above is represented by the equation:

$44 + $3 × x = $58.40

44 + 3x = 58.40

Solving for x

Subtract 44 from both sides

44 - 44 + 3x = 58.40 - 44

3x = 14.4

x = 14.4/3

x = 4.8 gigabytes
