Answer:
1) James brother is 10-x years old
2) James was 3 years ago x-3 years old
3) James brother was 3 years ago 7-x years old
4) 3(x-3)=7-x
5) James is 4 years old, his brother is 6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
3) 10 - x - 3 = 7 - x
5) 3* James age 3 years ago = James brothers age 3 years ago
<=> 3*(x-3) = 7-x
<=> 3x - 9 = 7 - x
<=> 4x = 16
<=> x = 4
To find the percent, you have to divide 24/6
24/6 = 0.25
Now you convert 0.25 to a percent.
So move the decimal point 2 places to the right.
= 25 %
Answer:
C(x) = 12x + 1680
Slope = 12
Intercept = 1680
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
X1 = 60 chairs ; y1 = 2400
X2 = 260 chairs ; y2 = 4800
Obtain the slope ; m
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = 4800 - 2400 / 260 - 60
m = 2400 / 200
m = 12
Using the point slope relation:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2400 = 12(x - 60)
y - 2400 = 12x - 720
y = 12x - 720 + 2400
y = 12x + 1680
C(x) = 12x + 1680
From the general slope intercept equation :
y = mx + c
m = slope ; c = intercept
Hence,
C(x) = 12x + 1680
Slope = 12
Intercept = 1680
