Answer:
son = 6 mother = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Mother = m
son = s
m = 8s
m+6 = 9/2 * (s+6)
so
2(8s + 6) = 9(s +6)
16s + 12 = 9s + 54
16s - 9s = 54 - 12
7s = 42
s = 42/7 = 6 years old
so the mother is 8s = 8*6= 48 years old
Answer:
(4, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x + y = 14 → (1)
7x - 4y = 20 → (2)
Rearrange (1) making y the subject by subtracting 3x from both sides
y = 14 - 3x → (3)
Substitute y = 14 - 3x into (2)
7x - 4(14 - 3x) = 20 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
7x - 56 + 12x = 20
19x - 56 = 20 ( add 56 to both sides )
19x = 76 ( divide both sides by 19 )
x = 4
Substitute x = 4 into (3) for corresponding value of y
y = 14 - 3(4) = 14 - 12 = 2
solution is (4, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
w = 34° (alternate interior angles)
x = 34° (vertically opposite angles)
y = 101°
z = 79° (corresponding angles)
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the negative reciprocal of each other. (Basically flip the sign +/- and the fraction(switch the numerator and the denominator))
For example:
Slope = 2 or
Perpendicular line's slope = (flip the sign from + to -, and flip the fraction)
Slope =
Perpendicular line's slope = (flip the sign from - to +, and flip the fraction)
y = 1/3x + 4 The slope is 1/3, so the perpendicular line's slope is or -3.
Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation:
y = mx + b
y = -3x + b To find b, plug in the point (1, 2) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself
2= -3(1) + b Add 3 on both sides to get "b" by itself
2 + 3 = -3 + 3 + b
5 = b
y = -3x + 5
