System of equations:
J     =2M

J+M=21 

2M+M=21

Equation:

M + 2M = 21


Explanation:

M = Mary's age.
2M = Jhon's age is double Mary's age (2 times)
M + 2M = The sum of these two needs to be 21.


Solving the equation:

M + 2M = 21
3M = 21
M = 21 / 3
M = 7


Mary's age is: 7
Jhon's age is two times Mary's: 7 + 7 = 14


Proof : 7 + 14 = 21


Hope it helped,

write the equation of the line using the given information. type your awnser in slope intercept form,y=mx+b​
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

y=3/-1x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so first thing you need to know is that if there is an ordered pair (x, y) where x is 0, your y-intercept is your y. For example, your problem has (0, 4) your x is 0 and your y is 4. Therefore your y-intercept is 4 which is the b. To find your mx, or slope, you need to do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Your y2 will be your y in your second ordered pair and your y1 will be in your y in the first ordered pair. Same for your x. So, (4-1)/(0-1) which equals 3/-1. 3/-1 is your slope. So, your answer in slop intercept form is: y= 3/-1x+4. You could also try y= -3x+4 if that makes you more comfortable.

I know this is long this is my first time doing this lol.
