Answer:
Jeff mows 9 yards of lawn in 30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation that models the amount of time (t) in minutes it takes Jeff to mow an average sized yard is 
, where n is the number of yards he mows.
To find the number of yards Jeff mows in 30 minutes, we set the equation to 30 and solve for n.
Add -12 to both sides:
Divide both sides by 2
Hence Jeff mows 9 yards of lawn in 30 minutes.
Answer:
(2,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply plug in the coordinates. y= 3x - 6, so in this case 0= 3(2) - 6 or 0=0, making the point on the line. If the equation is not true like when using (0,3) and getting 3= -6, then the point is not on the line.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Let x be boy 1's age, and y be boy 2's age (younger).
Firstly, we know that x+y=24
6y-4=3x+5 <== we have this right here. (using the rules given by the question)
We can use all the equations to help find the answer.
x+y=24
x+y (-y)= 24(-y)
x=24-y
Plug that into x in the equation we made above.
6y-4= 3(24-y)+5
6y-4= 72-3y+5
Add 4 to each side.
6y= 81 -3y
9y=81
y=9
We know the younger boys age is 9.
We can plug that in to find the older one's age.
x+9= 24
x= 15
The boy's ages are 9 and 15.
I hope this helps!
