<h3>Solution</h3>

Given :-

Paul is exactly 6yrs older than jane.
jane.the ratio of their ages is5:3

Find :-

Age off paul.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Let,

Age of paul = x years
Age of jane = y years

According to question

==> x = 6 + y

==> x - y = 6_____(1)

And,

==> x : y = 5:3

==> x/y = 5/3

==> 3x - 5y = 0______(2)

Multiply by 3 in equ(1)

==> 3x - 3y = 18_____(3)

Subtract equ(2) & (3)

==> -5y + 3y = -18

==> -2y = -18

==> y = 18/2

==> y = 9

keep in equ(2)

==> 3x - 5×9 = 0

==> 3x = 45

==> x = 45/3

==> x = 15

<h3>Hence</h3>

Age of paul = 15 year

What the y-intercept of (8,0) and (3,7)

Anettt [7]

Answer:

$\sf \bf y - intercept = \dfrac{56}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercept:

(8,0) ; x₁ = 8 & y₁ = 0

(3,7) ; x₂= 3 & y₂ = 7

First find the slope of the line.

$\sf \boxed{\bf Slope =\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

$\sf = \dfrac{7 - 0}{3 - 8}\\\\ =\dfrac{7}{-5}\\\\=\dfrac{-7}{5}$

slope y-intercept form of the line: y = mx + b

Substitute the slope and x and y in the above equation. We can choose anyone of the given points.

$0 = \dfrac{-7}{5}*8 + b\\\\0=\dfrac{-56}{5}+b\\\\\dfrac{56}{5}=b\\\\ \boxed{\bf b = \dfrac{56}{5}}$

Someone please help??????

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

$a) x=15\\b) AD\ is\ not\ parallel\ tp BC$

Step-by-step explanation:

$As\ we\ know\ that,\\Angle\ D=3x\\Angle\ A=2x\\Angle\ B=90\\Angle\ C=x\\The\ Angle\ Sum\ Property\ Of\ A\ Quadrilateral\ states\ that\ the\ sum\ of\ all\\ the\ interior\ angles\ of\ a\ quadrilateral\ is\ 180.\\Hence,\\ \angle D+ \angle A + \angle B + \angle C=360\\3x+2x+90+x=180\\3x+2x+x=180-90\\6x=90\\x=15\\Hence, x=15$

$Hence,\\As\ Angle\ A\ and\ Angle\ B\ are\ co-interior\ angles, if\ they\ are\\ supplementary\ then\ AD \parallel BC.\ Lets\ check\ that\ out.\\Hence,\\Angle\ A=2x=2*15=30\\Angle\ B=90\ [Given]\\Hence,\\As\ 90+30\neq 180,\\Angle\ A +Angle\ B\neq 180\\Hence,\\As\ Angle\ A and\ Angle\ B\ are\ not\ supplementary, AD\ will\ not\ be\ parallel\ to\ CB.$
