Jessie = Todd + 6
Todd = Ryan -2
if Ryan = r
so Todd = r-2
then Jessie = (r-2) + 6 = r-4 years old
Hey there!
Let's create a systems of equations using x and y.
4x+3y=15
3x-2y=7
We need to solve this using elimination. First, we need to multiply the first equation by 2/3 so that we can cancel out the y's when combining our equations.
2 2/3x+2y=10
3x-2y=7
Now we combine the equations...
5 2/3x=17
x=3
Now we can plug our x into the first equation to find y.
12+3y=15
y=1
Our numbers are 3 and 1.
I hope this helps!
slope =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-1-5)/(1--1)
m=-6/2
m=-3
y-y1=m(x-x1) point slope form
y-5 = -3 (x--1)
y-5 = -3 (x+1)
distribute
y-5 = -3x -3
add 5 to each side
y = -3x+2
