Well if Jake is 16 now and if he he was 2 years older, which would be 18, and this would be twice as old as Tom, Tom must be 9 because
16+2 = 2t
18=2t
9=t

Tom is 9 because 16+2=18 and 18/2=9

(972.41+1,620) x 2/100=

fomenos

(972.41 + 1,620) = 2592.41

2592.41 × $\frac{2}{100}$ = 51.8482

So, that means that your answer would have to be: 51.8482

Just change " $\frac{2}{100}$ " to 0.02 and by the way lineup the decimals and do P.E.M.D.A.S

How to convert nonlinear equation to linear equation?

9966 [12]

Let's take the non-linear equation:
${x}^{2} = \sqrt{3} y$
First Make The Equation To Be In Terms of Y

*Divide Both sides by
$\sqrt{3}$
$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{ \sqrt{3} y}{ \sqrt{3} }$
*Simplify
$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } = y$
You shouldn't keep a radical in the denominator, however we leave it for the purpose of the reciprocal.

*Take The Reciprocal Of Both Sides
$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ {x}^{2} } = \frac{1}{y}$
A Linear Equation Takes The Format:
$y = mx + b$
So,
$\frac{1}{y} = y$
$b = 0$
$m(slope) = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{x}$
$x = \frac{1}{x}$
Resulting in :
$\frac{1}{y} = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{x} (\frac{1}{x} ) + 0$
