Answer:20 years

Step-by-step explanation: Let your present age be 'x'

If you are 5percent holder then your age is 21

x +5/100×x =21

x+5x/100=21

100x+5x/100=21

105x/100=21

x=21×100÷105

x=20

X＋5％×x＝21
x＋5/100x＝21
x＋1/20x＝21
21/20x＝21
x＝20

<u>Answer:</u>

$y=2x+4$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given a slope and a point on the line, you can use point slope form and then rearrage your terms into slope-intercept form

<u>SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM</u>: $y=mx+b$ , where "m" is your slope and "b" is your y-intercept
<u>POINT-SLOPE FORM: </u> $(y-y_{1}) =m(x-x_{1})$ , where $y_{1}$ represents the y-coordinate of your point, $x_{1}$ represents the x-coordinate of your point, and $m$ represents the slope
