Answer:
x = 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
7 + 5x = 3(y-2)
Rearrange this equation such that x is expressed in terms of y
7 + 5x = 3(y-2) (expand right side)
7 + 5x = y(3)-2(3)
7 + 5x = 3y-6 (subtract 7 from both sides)
5x = 3y - 6 - 7
5x = 3y - 13
we are given the y-value of the coordinate pair (? , 5)
simply substitute y=5 into the equation above
5x = 3y - 13
5x = 3(5) - 13
5x = 15 - 13
5x = 2 (divide both sides 5)
x = 2/5
Answer:the present age of the father is 45 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the present age of the father.
Let y represent the present age of the son.
Let z represent the age of the daughter.
A father is 3 times as old as his son. This means that
x = 3y
his daughter is 3 years younger than the son. It means that
z = y - 3
The sum of their ages 3 years ago was 63. This means that
x - 3 + y - 3 + z - 3 = 63
x + y + z - 9 = 63 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 3y and z = y - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
3y + y + y - 3 - 9 = 63
5y - 12 = 63
5y = 63 + 12 = 75
y = 75/5 = 15
x = 3y = 3 × 15
x = 45
z = y - 3 = 15 - 3
z = 12
That means that 4 out of 11 people did not have umbrellas
You can write this as a fraction so
4/11 = x/99
Then, multiply both sides by 99 to isolate the variable.
So x is going to equal 99 times 4 divided by 11, which is 36. That means 36 people did not have umbrellas.
