Answer:
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = 11years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let will age = x
Bill = x +2 since he is 2 years older
x(x+2) = 5( x +x+2) - 1
Opening brackets
x² + 2x = 5(2x + 2) - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 10 - 1
x² + 2x = 10x + 9
Collect like terms
x² + 2x - 10x - 9 = 0
x² - 8x - 9 = 0
Solve quadratically using factorisation method by finding two factors of +9 that can add up to give -8, the coefficient of x.
The factors are -9 and +1
x² + x - 9x - 9 = 0
x(x + 1) -9( x +1)
x+1) (x -9) =0
x + 1 = 0 or x -9 =0
x = -1 or 9
Age can not be negative
Therefore,
Will's age = 9 years
Bill's age = x+2 = 9+2 = 11years

To do this task the best way is always add both "sides" of ratio and divide whole group by this sum.sum=4+7=1133:11=3Now we know how much is 1 and we can multiply by 4 and by 7 to find the answer.3*4=12 - first group3*7=21 - second group
Your result is ok.
Answer:
e
Step-by-step explanation:
In this form, slope is simply the coefficient in front of <em>x.</em> Therefore, the slope of this graph is -1/4
Y=1
x=7
that's the answer !!
