Represent Age of Time Traveler =========> X

Solve:

x = 3(x - 20 )


Step 1: Simplify Both sides of equation:

x = 3(x - 20 )

x = (3) (x) + (3) ( - 20 ) (Distribute ):

x = 3x + - 60

x = 3x - 60


Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides:

x - 3x = 3x - 60 - 3x

- 2x = - 60


Step 3: Divide both sides by -2:

- 2x / - 2 = - 60 / - 2

x = 30



Answer: Our Time Traveler is 30 years old.




Hope that helps : )

The slope of a line is negative for use the cordons of the labeled point to find a point-slope equation of the line.
Alexeev081 [22]
For slope m and point (x₁, y₁), the point-slope equation of the line can be written as
  y -y₁ = m(x -x₁)

You have m = -4 and (x₁, y₁) = (4, -9), so the equation of your line is
  D. y+9 = -4(x-4)
