Answer:

Billie's age = x = 17 years

Tony's age = y = 31 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Billie's age = x

Tony's age = y

Twice Billie’s age decreased by 3 is Tony’s age.

y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1

Tony is fourteen years older than Billie.

x = y - 14

We substitute y - 14 for x in Equation 1

y = 2x - 3..... Equation 1

y = 2(y - 14) - 3

y = 2y - 28 - 3

y - 2y = -28 - 3

-y = -31

y = 31 years

Solving for x

x = y - 14

x = 31 - 14

x = 17 years.

Therefore:

Billie's age = x = 17 years

Tony's age = y = 31 years

Simple math but I can't seem to understand it: x+y=2 becomes y=2-x, in order to find slope and y intercept y=mx+b The result bec
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we started off with the equation:

x+y=2

And we subtracted x from both sides to acquire:

y=2-x

Now, this is essentially slope-intercept form. Recall that the slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we rearrange our equation:

y=2-x\\y=-x+2

And put some parentheses:

y=(-1)x+(2)

We can see that this is indeed slope-intercept form.

And we can see that m is -1 and b is 2.

In other words, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is 2.

Given that these simultaneous equations
Tatiana [17]

The value of k is(3\sqrt{ 10})/2

<h3>How to solve the simultaneous equation?</h3>

Given:

x-y=k.............(eq i)

2x²+y²-15..............(eq ii)

We would make y the subject formula in eq ii

2x²+y²-15= 0

2x² + y²= 15

y²= 15-2x²

y= \sqrt{15-2x^2}...........(eq iii)

Substitute the value of y into eq i

x-(\sqrt{15-2x^2}= k

x- (\sqrt{15} - 2x= k

k= (3\sqrt{ 10})/2

Find the next term is in the explicit and recursive rule for the in term of the sequence. NO LINKS!!!
BARSIC [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  5) 729, an=3^n, a[1]=3; a[n]=3·a[n-1]

  6) 1792, an=7(4^(n-1)), a[1]=7; a[n]=4·a[n-1]

Step-by-step explanation:

The next term of a geometric sequence is the last term multiplied by the common ratio. (This is the basis of the recursive formula.)

The Explicit Rule is ...

  a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}

for first term a₁ and common ratio r.

The Recursive Rule is ...

  a[1] = a₁

  a[n] = r·a[n-1]

__

5. First term is a₁ = 3; common ratio is r = 9/3 = 3.

Next term: 243×3 = 729

Explicit rule: an = 3·3^(n-1) = 3^n

Recursive rule: a[1] = 3; a[n] = 3·a[n-1]

__

6. First term is a₁ = 7; common ratio is r = 28/7 = 4.

Next term: 448×4 = 1792

Explicit rule: an = 7·4^(n-1)

Recursive rule: a[1] = 7; a[n] = 4·a[n-1]
