Answer:

Let s be the son’s current age and d be the daughter’s current age. The system of equations is:

s - 10 = 2(d - 10)

s = 3 + d

Since s is already set to an equation, we can use the substitution method for s in the other equation:

s = 3 + d

s - 10 = 2(d - 10)

3 + d - 10 = 2(d - 10)

Simplify and solve for d:

3 + d - 10 = 2(d - 10)

-7 + d = 2d - 20

-7 = d - 20

13 = d

The daughter is 13 years old. To solve for the son’s age, we will plug in the solution for d into one of the equations. The second one is simpler so we will use that:

s = 3 + d

s = 3 + 13

s = 16

The son is 16 years old. Let us use the other equation to check our solutions:

s - 10 = 2(d - 10)

16 - 10 = 2(13 - 10)

6 = 2(3)

6 = 6

It checks out. The son is 16 years old, and the daughter is 13 years old.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form and then in standard form for each line described. y-intercept -2; x-intercept 5
Xelga [282]
Hello
the line passes by A ( 0 ; -2)  and B (5 ; 0) equation : y = ax+b
a is a slop : a = (yb - ya)/(xb -xa)
a = (0+2)/(5-0)
a =2/5
y = (2/5)x+b
if x=5 and y= 0
0 = (2/5)(5)+b
b= - 2
the equation is : y = (2/5)x-2

What is the solution to the equation? 98 + g = 150 98 + g = 150. 98 + 98 + g = 150 minus 98. t = 52. 98 + g = 150. 98 minus 98 +
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The solution to the question is g = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the solution to the equation ;

98 + g = 150

Apparently, we want to find the value of g.

To get the value of g, what we simply need is to bring 98 over the equal sign and this gives

g = 150-98

g = 52
