Answer:

Jewel is 7 years old

John is 1 year old

Dave is 17 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Jewel age is J=7 years

John age J'=(D-16)years

Dave's age a Year ago

 D-1=2(J-1+J'-1)

So that Dave.s age this Year could be

 D=2((J-1)+(J'-1))+1

Simplifying Equation for Dave's age we have

 D=2((7)-1+(D-16)-1)+1

 D=2(6+D-15)+1

 D=2(D-9)+1

 D=2D-18+1

 D=17 Years

Dave is 17 years old

Therefore

Johns age is

 J'=(D-16)

 J'=17-16

 J'=1year old

John is 1 year old

In a right angle,the altitude to a 6ft hypotenuse.Find the length of the altitude and each leg.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:a=3.6 and b=4.8

Step-by-step explanation:(a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)

Where c is hypotenuse is equal to 6. A right triangle is also known as a 3,4,5 triangle where the 2 legs are 3 and 4 and hypotenuse is 5. Find the factor in size difference by dividing your hypotenuse of 6 by the hypotenuse of 5 you get 1.2. Now multiply the 3 and 4 by 1 2 to get your answers of 3.6 and 4.8.

To check work simply plug in your legs as a and b

(3.6^2)+(4.8^2)=(6^2)

(12.96)+(23.04)=(36)

Write the equation for this line in y=blanks+blank<br><br> **Please see picture**
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Equation for this line is y = -2x + (-4)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Slope intercept equation for a line is of the form y= mx +  b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Step 2:

Calculate slope of the given line.

⇒ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (2 - (-2))/(-3 - (-1)

⇒ m = 4/-2 = -2

Step 3:

Find y-intercept

⇒ b = - 4

Step 4:

Substitute values to get equation

⇒ y = -x -4 or y = - (x + 4)
