-2x is the answer
Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
Answer:
B) -15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The answer to your question is y - 0 = 40(x - 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 40x + 600
Convert to y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
Process
1.- Factor 40 in the right side of the equation
y = 40(x - 15)
2.- Give the form of the point slope form
y - 0 = 40(x - 15)
where
y₁ = 0
m = 40
x₁ = 15
Answer:
x squared plus two times x minus one = zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
(This is a Quadratic equation in the variable x).
