I believe the answer is x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/4(x + 12)=2 - first isolate X'
- 12 -12
2. 1/4(x) = -10 - 1/4 since its a fraction, you'll have to subtract not divide
-1/4 - 1/4
3. x = -10.25
Andre did the first step correctly, but on the second step he just divided 1.4 by -10, instead of subtract 1/4 from both sides.
Answer:
i cant see it
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Afful is 21 and Naomi is 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
represent the age of Afful and
represent the age of Naomi.
The sum of their ages is 34. In other words:

In 5 years time, Afful will be two times the age of Naomi <em>now</em>. In other words:

Solve for the system. Substitute.

Afful is currently 21 and Noami is currently 13.
First, it is important to understand that parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, based on the formula y=mx+b in which m represents slope and based on the equation y=-1/2x+5, the slope of the unknown line is also -1/2. Then, there are two different ways to solve this problem using different formulas.
The first method to find the unknown equation is easy but not widely known. We can use the point slope formula which is (y-y1)=m(x-x1) in which we can plug a point and slope to find the equation. When we plug in the values given, we get y+6=-1/2(x-4) or y+6 =-1/2x+2 which simplifies to y=-1/2x-4.
The other method is using the slope intercept form or y=mx+b. When we plug in our slope and our point, we get -6=-1/2*4+b or -6=-2+b so b must equal -4, therefore we have all the information we need to plug values into y=mx+b. When we plug in our slope and y-intercept, we get y=-1/2x-4 which is the answer.
I hope this helps!
