Answer:

Katie is 6 years old and Thomas is 3 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we should let K and T be the current ages of two siblings, Katie and Thomas.

If Katie is currently twice the age of Thomas then,

K = 2T

and in  6 years, Katie will be 4 times Thomas's current age then

K + 6 = 4T

Solving both equations simultaneously by substituting the value of K given in the first equation into the second

2T + 6 = 4T

Collect like terms

6 = 4T - 2T

6 = 2T

Divide both sides by 2

T = 3

Recall that K = 2T

K = 2 * 3

= 6

Hence Katie is 6 years old while Thomas is 3 years old

What is the slope of the line with equation y=-x
zmey [24]
The slope intercept form is  y=mx+b
in this case                         y=-x
                                           y=(-1)x + 0
 so the slope m=-1 and y-intercept which is b is 0

Solve the system.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

{x,y,z} = {-18,4,2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve equation [2] for the variable  x  

x = -10y + 2z + 18

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

(-10y+2z+18) + 9y + z = 20

- y + 3z = 2

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [3]

 3•(-10y+2z+18) + 27y + 2z = 58

   - 3y + 8z = 4

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y  

 y = 3z - 2

Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [3]

  - 3•(3z-2) + 8z = 4

   - z = -2

Solve equation [3] for the variable  z  

 z = 2

By now we know this much :

 x = -10y+2z+18

   y = 3z-2

   z = 2

Use the  z  value to solve for  y  

 y = 3(2)-2 = 4

Use the  y  and  z  values to solve for  x  

 x = -10(4)+2(2)+18 = -18
