To solve this problem, create two equations with x and y. The pieces of information that we know are that the first child is 3 times older than the second child. Therefore if we assign child #1 the variable of x and child #2 the variable of y, we could get the following equation:
3x = y
Now, we also know that together their ages equal 50 months. Therefore:
x + y = 50 (months)
So, using these two equations you can use either substitution or elimination to find the values of x and y. You would first need to rearrange the first equation to 3x - y = 0 (just moving the y to the other side).
Then, you could add the equations together as followed:
3x - y = 0
x + y = 50
___________
4x = 50
x = 12.5
And then fill that value in to one of the equations to find y.
3x = y
3(12.5) = y
y = 37.5
So, one child is 12.5 months old and the other is 37.5 months old!

First I would find the base, which is a square so 10x10=100
then find the triangle (a=1/2bh) a=1/2(12)(10) a=1/2(120) a=60
since there are four triangle sides do 60x4 which equals 240, so then add the sides to the base 100+240=340, the answer is A
The two points (0,0) and (4,5) are on the line. The points are marked in blue in the attached image below.
Use the slope formula to get
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (5-0)/(4-0)
m = 5/4 <----- this is the answer in fraction form
m = 1.25 <----- this is the answer in decimal form
The idea of the slope formula is we're subtracting the y values together, then subtracting the x values together in the same order, finally we divide the two results and reduce if possible to get the fraction form. Use long division or a calculator to find the decimal form of the fraction. In this case, the rise is 5 and the run is 4. Meaning we go up 5 units and over to the left 4 units to go from (0,0) to (4,5).
