Answer:

18 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Transforming the question in form of equation:

Let x be the current age.

x + 32 = 5(x-8)

x + 32 = 5x - 40

5x - x = 40 + 32

4x = 72

x = 18

Answer: look at this! He’s 18

Step-by-step explanation:

equation = x+32=5(x-8)

X+32=5x-40

5x-x=32+40

4x=72

X=72/4

=18

40 POINTS PLS HELP PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS /J IM LAZY NO PLS HELP

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

y = -0.5x - 3.5

Explanation:

Take two points: (1, -4), (3, -5)

Find slope:

$\sf slope: \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2- x_1} \ \ where \ (x_1 , \ y_1), ( x_2 , \ y_2) \ are \ points$

$\rightarrow \sf slope \ (m) : \dfrac{-5-(-4)}{3-1} = -\dfrac{1}{2}$

Equation:

$\sf y- y_1 = m (x - x_1)$

$\rightarrow \sf y- (-4) = -\dfrac{1}{2} (x -1)$

$\rightarrow \sf y+ 4 = -\dfrac{1}{2} x + \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\rightarrow \sf y = -\dfrac{1}{2} x + \dfrac{1}{2} - 4$

$\rightarrow \sf y = -0.5 x -3.5$
