Let Cameron be x years old now.
-
<u>Now:</u>
Cameron = x
Uncle =3x
-
<u>4 years ago:</u>
Cameron = x - 4
Uncle = 3x - 4
-
<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
-
<u>Find x:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
3x - 4 = 4x - 16
4x - 3x = 16 - 4
x = 12
-
<u>Find the age:</u>
Cameron = x = 12

Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.
They are equal because you can measure the percentage as a decimal with a maximum of 1.
Answer:
sqrt(-8x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
(5-8x)
-----------------
sqrt(-8x+5)
We need to rationalize the denominator
(5-8x) sqrt(-8x+5)
----------------- * ---------------
sqrt(-8x-5) sqrt(-8x+5)
(5-8x) sqrt(-8x+5)
----------------- * ---------------
(-8x+5)
The first term cancels
sqrt(-8x+5)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the Rectangular Carpet=12*5=60m²
Area of the Square rug=2*2=4m²
Expressing the area of the rug as a fraction of the total area of the carpet, we have:
.
The fraction of the carpet that is covered by the rug is
.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To write the equation of a line we need 2 points. We know:
- If the y-intercept of the line is -3 then the point is (0,-3).
- If the x-intercept of the line is -4.5 then the point is (-4.5,0).
Using these two point, we will find the slope and then substitute it into the point slope form
with a point.
Slope: 
This decimal is -2/3. We will now substitute -2/3 and (0,-3) into the point slope form.
