Answer:
Michael is 21 years old while Jean is 7 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Micheal is three times as old as Jean, but in seven years he will be twice old as she will be, to determine how old are they both at this time, the following calculation must be performed:
M = 3J
M + 7 = 2J + 7
7 = 1/3
7 x 3 = 21
21 + 7 = 28
7 + 7 = 14
21 / 7 = 3
28 / 14 = 2
Therefore, Michael is 21 years old while Jean is 7 years old.
Answer:
y - 13 = 5(x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Given y = 5x - 3 in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 5, then
m = 5 and (a, b) = (- 2, 13)
y - 13 = 5(x - (- 2)), that is
y - 13 = 5(x + 2) ← in point- slope form
A) -6a = 36
Divide both sides by -6 so that (a) is isolated.
a = -6
Check by plugging in -6 for a.
-6a=36
-6(-6)=36
36=36
So, a=-6
B) -9d=-72
Divide both sides by -9.
d = -72/-9
d = 8
Check work by plugging in 8 for d.
-9d=-72
-9(8)=-72
-72=-72
So, d=8
