Answer:

Age of ben = n years

Age of Chloe = 2n years

Age of Dan = (n - 5) years

Now,

Sum of ben, Chloe and Dan's age = t years

or, n +2n + n - 5 = t

or, 4n - 5 =t

This is the required formula

What is the graph of f SOMEONE help me please

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

f(x) = 1/2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

So before we even look at the first given formula, let's use the second formula: f(x) = -5.

Plug this formula into the x:

0 <= -5 <= 7

Is this true? Is -5 greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 7?

No, this is false.

So the formula, f(x) = -5, is not the graph of f.

That only leaves one possible option!

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–5, –1) and (10, –7) is . What is the standard form of the

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Point-Slope form: $y+1=-\frac{6}{15}(x+5)\\$

standard form: $2x+5y=-15$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form is given by: $Ax+By=C$

The point-slope form is given by: $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

<em>Let's call $(-5,-1)$ as point $(x_1,y_1)$ , and</em>

<em>point $(10,-7)$ as point $(x_2,y_2)$ </em>

<em>We also know that the slope $m$ is given by $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ </em>

Let's find the slope:

$m=\frac{-7-(-1)}{10-(-5)}=-\frac{6}{15}$

1. So, point slope form can be written as:

$y-(-1)=-\frac{6}{15}(x-(-5))\\y+1=-\frac{6}{15}(x+5)\\$

2. Rearranging this equation and bringing all x's and y's to one side and the number to another side will give us the standard form. So:

$y+1=-\frac{6}{15}x-2\\y+\frac{6}{15}x=-2-1\\y+\frac{6}{15}x=-3$

<em>But A, B, and C (standard form) needs to be integers, so to get rid of the denominator , we multiply the whole equation by 15. So we have:</em>

$y+\frac{6}{15}x=-3\\15y+6x=-45$

<em>We can factor out a 3, so it becomes:</em>

$15y+6x=-45\\5y+2x=-15$

So standard form is $2x+5y=-15$

33% of what is 5? Help!

Slav-nsk [51]

33% of 15 is 5. If 5 = 33%, that means that x/3=5. so multiply both sides by 3 to get x=15.
It is asking what number can you take 33% of and get 5? So you are not dividing 5 by 3, you are multiplying it by 3
