Usually when the line is going down the slope will be represented as a negative number. Remember rise/run. The slope of this line would be -2/2. If it needs to be simplified it would be -1. If answer choices are all positive best bet would be 1! Hope this helps!
Simon is 13 years old
Let x be Simon's age
Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)
Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)
distributing both sides gives
5x-20 = 3x + 6
subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
5x - 3x - 20 = 6
2x - 20 = 6
add 20 to both sides
2x = 6 + 20 = 26
divide both sides by 2
x =
= 13

Hey!
Answer:
4/1
Step-by-step explanation:
- The multiplicative inverse of a number is the reciprocal of it. (a/b → b/a).
- Basically you divide 1 by the other number. (1 ÷ 1/4 = 4 or 4/1).
Hope This Helps :)
