Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The  straight line equation is:

y = m*x  + b     Where m is the slope of the line and b the intercept with   y-axis, in our case y is the depth of the tank and x (time in lapsus of 3 hours).

The slope m  =  ( y₂ -  y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁)

We have point  A ( 3 , 8 )  and point  B ( 6 , 7 )

m  = ( 6 - 3 ) / (7 - 8 )  m = -3

We see that  each 3 hours time-depth decreases  1 in.

Then   to find the depth at the beginning of x-axis

At  noon     12   tank was  9 inches, three hours before at 9 in the morning the depth was 10 inches and:

9  in the morning   10

6  in the morning   11

3  in the midnight   12

12 in the night         13

Then 13 is the intercept with y-axis

then the equation is:

h = - 3*x + 13

Note x is time in lapsus  of 3 hours

Alan is 5 years older than Bob. Bob is twice as old as Cindy. All their ages add up to 20. What are their ages?
Llana [10]
We can use a variable equation to solve this. Let A represent alan's age, B represent bob's age, and C represent Cindy's age. So Bob's age would be Alan's age - 5, or a -5 = B. Then Bob's age would be double Cindy's age, so that means 2 multiplied by Cindy's age = Bob's age, or 2C = B. Your two equations are: 

A - 5 = B
2C = B

Also a third equation that helps is A + B + C = 20.

Finally, here are the ages. 
Alan = 11 years old
Bob = 6 years old
Cindy = 3 years old.
