Fred's age is 13 years

Let

Fred's age = x

Jack's age = 2x + 4

After 8 years:

  • Fred's age = x + 8
  • Jack's age = 2x + 4 + 8

= 2x + 12

  • Sum of their ages = 59

Sum of their ages = Fred's age + Jack's age

59 = (x + 8) + (2x + 12)

59 = x + 8 + 2x + 12

59 = 3x + 20

59 - 20 = 3x

39 = 3x

x = 39/3

x = 13 years

Therefore, Fred's age = 13 years

Make (X-12)/(x-8) equal to zero <br><br> A)-2<br> B)-8<br> C)2<br> D)8
nevsk [136]

Answer:

x=12 makes (X-12)/(x-8) equal to zero

x=8 makes (X-12)/(x-8)  undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-12)/(x-8) = 0

The  first step is to multiply each side by x-8

 (x-8) *(x-12)/(x-8) = 0 * (x-8)

This cancels the denominator.  x≠ 8 because the denominator would equal 0 and then it becomes undefined.

x-12 = 0

Add 12 to each side

x-12+12 = 0+12

x = 12

What is the meaning of the slope of mr taylor's line? pls help! a lot of points
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

y -----> is the percentage of test score

x ----> is the number of days absent

so

That means -----> The slope is the percentage of test score per number of days absent

In this problem the slope is negative

so

If the percentage test score increases----> the number of days decreases

If the percentage test score decreases----> the number of days increases
