Now,
G - Ginny's age.
P=G+8, Percy's age.

In 10 years,
G + 10 - Ginny's age in 10 years.
P+10 -  Percy's age in 10 years.

<span> In ten years time Percy (P+10) will be three times Ginnys present age (3G).
P+10=3G

Now we have 2 equations, and we can write a system of equations.

</span>(1)     P=G+8
(2)     P+10=3G  -------> G=(P+10)/3, we need to substitute it into equation 1.

( P=(P+10)/3+8)   /*3
3P=P +10+24
2P = 34
P = 17

Percy is 17 years old now.

Check,
P=17, G=17-8=9
P+10=3G , 17+10=3*9, 27 = 27 True

sergiy2304 [10]
Translate the equation to math.
It says the term after the current term is the current term plus 3.
Next term = this term + 3
Next term = -4+3
The next term is then -4+3 or -1.

Answer= - 1

Hope this helps :)

Can anybody help me with this?<br> Algebra 1
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

7. f(x) = mx + b; b acts as the vertical shift moving the graph up if b is positive and down if b is negative.

f(x) = x-2 has shifted the graph of f(x) down 2 units.

g(x) = x + 7 has shifted the graph up 7 units.

If f(x) is changed to g(x) the vertical shift has gone from -2 to + 7 or (7-(-2) = 9 units up

8. f(x) = mx stretches the graph by a factor of m if m > 0 and compresses the graph by a factor of m if 0<m<1

f(x) = 3x stretches the graph by a factor of 3.

g(x) = 1/4x compresses the graph by a factor of 1/4
