2/3x + 4 = 2 Solve the equation algebraically show work to support the answer

To solve this, we need to turn this word problem into a system of linear equations. To do this, let's use x to stand for Mr. Fontana's age, and y to stand for his son's age.

The first sentence states that eight years ago, Mr. Fontana was six times as old as his son.

eight years ago = x - 8

Fontana was six times as old as his son = 6(y - 8). Remember, we need subtract 8 from his son's age, which is why I wrote it as 6(y - 8), and his father was 6 times his son's age 8 years ago, which is why I multiplied 6 by y - 8.

Now, putting this all together gives us our first equation:

x - 8 = 6(y - 8)

We can now rewrite this equation in standard form:

x - 8 = 6y - 48 ----->

x - 6y = -48 + 8 ----->

x - 6y = -40 <----- this is our first linear equation

To find our second, we need to turn the second sentence into an equation. It says that in 12 years, Mr. Fontana will be twice as old as his son:

x + 12 = 2(y + 12)

Now, we need to rewrite this equation in standard form:

x + 12 = 2y + 24 ----->

x - 2y = 24 - 12 ----->

x - 2y = 12 <----- this is our second linear equation. We now have our system of equations:

x - 6y = -40

x - 2y = 12

Now we can find the father's age (x) and his son's age (y). First, multiply the second equation by -1, giving us:

x - 6y = -40

-x + 2y = -12

Now we can add both equations together:

x - x - 6y + 2y = -40 + -12 ----->

-4y = -52

Solve for y, by dividing both sides of the equation by -4, giving us:

y = 13

So, now we know the son's age: 13

To find the father's age, replace y in either the first equation or the second equation, with 13. Let's use the first equation:

x - 6(13) = -40 ----->

x - 78 = -40 ----->

x = 78 - 40 ----->

x = 38

Therefore, Mr. Fontana is 38 years old and his son is 13 years old.

Answer:

y = -2/5 x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know two points on the line (-5,3) and ( 5,-1)

We  can find the slope using the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

m = ( -1 -3)/( 5- -5)

   = (-1-3)/ (-5+5)

  -4/10

 =-2/5

Using the slope intercept form of the the lint

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -2/5 x+b

Using one of the point and substitute in for x and y

3 = -2/5 (-5) +b

3 = 2 +b

1 = b

y = -2/5 x +1

The equation of the line passes through the points (0, 1) and (5, -1) will be;

[tex]y = - \dfrac{2}{5}x + 1[/tex]

The equation of a line in point-slope form passing through the points

(x₁ , y₁) and (x₂, y₂) with slope m is defined as;

⇒ y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Where, m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Given that;

Two points on the line are (0, 1) and (5, -1).

Now,

Since, The equation of line passes through the points (0, 1) and (5, -1).

So, We need to find the slope of the line.

Hence, the Slope of the line is,

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

m = (- 1 - 1) / (5 - 0)

m = - 2 / 5

Thus, The equation of the line with slope - 2/5 is,

[tex]y - 1 = - \dfrac{2}{5} (x - 0)[/tex]

[tex]y - 1 = - \dfrac{2}{5}x[/tex]

[tex]y = - \dfrac{2}{5}x + 1[/tex]

Therefore, The equation of a line is [tex]y = - \dfrac{2}{5}x + 1[/tex].

Answer:

15.42 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

-formula : perimeter of semi circle= πr+2r

r=3 inch

π.3+2.3

=3π+6

Answer:

15.425 or 6+3π

Step-by-step explanation:

If the radius of the circle is 3 inches and the diameter is double the radius, we know the diameter is 6 inches. Then we find half of the perimeter of a circle with radius 3. The perimeter formula of a cirle is 2πr. Plugging in the radius we get: 2(3)π or 6π. Then we divide by 2 as it is a semicircle and get 3π or ≈9.425. We add 6 to this and we get the answer of 15.425 or 6+3π.

Answer:

You can send 405 texts in 2008 without going over 100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for 2008:

59$ for 200 texts + .20 dollars per text after that < or = $100

So minus $59 dollars

.20 * (number of txts) < 100 - 59

.20 * (number of txts) < 41

divide both sides by .2

number of txts < or = 205

so therefore you can send exactly 405 texts without going over $100

Then to find how much you would pay plug into this equation

If total number of texts is lower than 200 texts, then you would be paying $59, but if it is more then plug into the following equation

(Total number of texts - 200) * .20 + 59 = Total $ spent for a 2008 text plan per month.

The total number of texts that can be sent is 405 texts in 2008 without going over 100$. The amount will be $99.

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The equation for 2008:

59$ for 200 texts + 0.20 dollars per text after that < or = $100 and minus $59 dollars

0.20 x  (number of texts) < 100 - 59

0.20 x  (number of texts) < 41

Divide both sides by 0.2

number of texts < or = 205

405 texts can be sent without going over $100

If the total number of texts is lower than 200 texts, then you would be paying $59, but if it is more then plug into the following equation

(Total number of texts - 200) x  0.20 + 59 = Total $ spent for a 2008 text plan per month.

( 405 - 200 ) x 0.2 + 59 = $99

Therefore,  the total number of texts that can be sent is 405 texts in 2008 without going over 100$. The amount will be $99.

Answer:

  (3, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the point of intersection of the altitudes of the triangle. That is, each altitude goes through the orthocenter. Hence, the line from any given vertex through the orthocenter is perpendicular to the opposite side.

The attached figure shows the given points labeled A and B. Point A lies on the x-axis, as does the orthocenter, so the side opposite will be a vertical line (perpendicular to the x-axis).

The remaining side of the triangle will be perpendicular to the line from B through the origin. The line through B has slope 4/3, so the line containing side AC will have slope -3/4 and will go through point A. Its point-slope equation will be ...

  y -0 = -3/4(x +5)

We already know the x-coordinate of vertex C is the same as that of vertex B, so is x=3. Using this in the equation for side AC, we find the y-coordinate to be ...

  y = -3/4(3 +5) = -6

The coordinates of point C, the third vertex, are (3, -6).

The equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]  

The graph is an exponential function, and it passes through the points:

[tex](x,y) = (1,1)\ (0,2)[/tex]

An exponential function is represented with:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

At (0,2), we have:

[tex]ab^0 = 2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]a(1) = 2[/tex]

[tex]a = 2[/tex]

At (1,1), we have:

[tex]ab^1 = 1[/tex]

[tex]ab = 1[/tex]

Substitute 2 for (a)

[tex]2b = 1[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]b = \frac 12[/tex]

Substitute values for a and b in [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]

Hence, the equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]
