Answer:
a is impossible to interminate
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets use O to represent Merideth's age and X to represent Miles's age,
So what do we know? we know that miles is 3 years younger than twice merideth's age so 2(O)=X+3 and we also know that the sum of their ages is 24 O+X=24 using these equations we can input values until we find the values that work so if miles is 15 and meridith is 9 than 2(9)=15+3. 18=18
9+15=24 these values work for both equations so merideth is 9 and miles is 15
The answer is f(x) = 5 - 2x
Function form means just replace y with f(x).
So given 8x + 4y = 20:
Subtract 8x
4y = 20 - 8x
Divide both sides by 4
y = 5 - 2x
