If Dan is 8x years old next year then he must be 8x-1 years old this year
With the same logic, five years ago from this year, he must be 8x-1-5=8x-6
The answer should be 8x-6
Answer:
x = 3
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The method of substitution is when one solves an equation for one of the variables, and then substitutes the expression into the other equation. After doing so, one will solve the other equation for the remaining variable and then backsolve for the first variable.
4x + 2y = 12
x = y + 3
The second equation is already sovled for parameter (x), subttiute this into the other equation,
4(y + 3) + 2y = 12
Distribute,
4y + 12 + 2y = 12
Simplify,
6y + 12 = 12
Inverse operations,
6y + 12 = 12
-12
6y = 0
/6
y = 0
Backsolve for (x), substitute the value of (y) into the equation for (x) and solve,
x = y + 3
x = 0 + 3
x = 3
Answer:
y - 5 = 4 (x - -2) or y - 5 = 4 (x + 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point-slope form:
y- y1 = m (x - x1 )
m = 4
x1 = -2
y1 = 5
fill in the blanks:
y - 5 = 4 (x + 2 )
