Answer:

Robert is 17 years old

Kent is 13 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, let's say that Robert is X years old, and Kent is X - 5 Years old, since he is 5 years younger. Since their ages together add up 39 years old, set these values next to one another.

x + x + 5 = 39

Add Like Terms

2x + 5 = 39

Cancel out the 5

2x = 34

Divide by 2

x = 17

With this, x is 17. This means that Robert is 17 years old since his age was x. With Kent he is 13 years old since 17 - 5 = 13.

Complete the following sentence with a power of ten greater than 1. A kilometer is times as large as a millimeter. Click on the

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

A kilometer is 10⁶ times as large as a millimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the metric system first we have: millimeter, centimeter, decimeter and meter. Each one of these is 10 times the other (1 centimeter is 10 millimeter, 1 decimeter is 10 centimeter, 1 meter is 10 decimeter). Therefore, 1 meter is 10x10x10 millimeter = 1 meter is 1000 millimeters.

But we know that 1 km is 1000 meters,

Therefore, 1 km = 1000 meter = 1, 000,000 milimeter = 10⁶ milimeter

So then, we have that 1 kilometer is 10⁶ as large as a milimeter.

What is the slope and y-intercept for the graph of the equation<br><br> Y= 4/5 x - 3 ?

vichka [17]

So,

The slope-intercept form is as follows:
y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept. The y-intercept for this equation is (0,b).

Our equation is $y= \frac{4}{5} x-3$

That means that $\frac{4}{5}$ is the slope, and -3 is the y-intercept.
