35,000 ft - 6,000 ft = 29,000 ft
Answer:
the older sister is 27 and the younger is 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
C+2=Y
C+Y=52
2C+2=52
2C=50
C=25
25+2=Y
Y=27
Start by seeing where the lines go. They cross (intersect) at (1, -1). We can use this to check later.
Now for slope: green is -4/2 = -2
pink is 4/2 = 2
Now we can create the equations
Let's make green = g(x) and pink = p(x)
if we use y = mx + b, then the green has a y-intercept (b) of +1
So g(x) = -2x + 1
pink has a y-intercept of -3, so p(x) = 2x - 3
Now let's plug n play: put our solutions x into each equation and confirm that it makes the y = -1
g(x) = -2x + 1 = -2(1) + 1 = -2+1 = -1
p(x) = 2x - 3 = 2(1) - 3 = 2-3 = -1
✔ YES THEY ARE CONFIRMED
The constant of proportionality is for every 1 x, there is 0.25 y. y = 0.25, and on a graph, x is always the "1." Since x is worth 1, y must be worth 0.25.
(2/3)x+4= 7
Subtract 4 from both sides
(2/3)x= 3
Divide both sides by 2/3. To divide by a fraction, multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second.
3*3/2= 9/2
Final answer: 9/2 or 4.5
