-1/2 because slope is the rise over the run. If you count on the grid from one point on the line to another you go up one and 2 to the left meaning the slope is 1/2, buttttt when the line decreases going to the right, it has a negative slope so you just add a - sign in front
Aaron is 4 years and Maria is 14 years old.
A = Aaron's age today
M = Maria's age today.
a. The equation based on the statement given will be:
M = A + 10
b. Maria's age based on the statement in 6 years will be:
= (A + 10) + 6
= A + 16
c. Based on the information above, the equation to solve their ages will be:
A + 16 = 2(A + 6)
A + 16 = 2A + 12
Collect like terms
2A - A = 16 - 12
A = 4
Therefore, Aaron is 4 and Maria is 14 years.
