Answer:
To find the x-intercept of any equation, set the y-value to 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Example:
y=1x+4
To find x-intercept:
0=1x+4
1. Subtract 4 from both sides
2. Divide both sides by 1
The x-intercept is -4
Hi!
Divide 63 by 3. You will get 21. That is the boys age. His father’s age is 42. When combined their age is 63.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rise of y-value = (-4) - (3) = -7.
Run of x-value = (8) - (6) = 2.
Slope of the line = Rise / Run = (-7) / (2) = -3.5.
Mike age is 3 less then twice the age of his brother nuke.
M = Mike's age now
N = Nuke's age now
M = 2N - 3
Ten years ago, four times nuke's age was one more mike's age.
M-10 = Mike's age 10 years ago
N-10 = Muke's age 10 years ago
4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10
what are their present ages
find M and N
substitute M = 2N - 3 into 4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10:
4(N - 10) = 1 + [2N - 3] - 10
4N - 40 = 2N - 12
2N = 28
N = 14
M = 2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25
Mike is 25 and Nuke is 14.
check:
4(14 - 10) = 4(4) = 16 = 26 -10 = 1 + 25 - 10
Answer: you need 5000 more
Step-by-step explanation: 70000 + 5000= 75000
