Jack is 27 years older than Susan. In 5 years he will be 4 times as old as she is. Find the present ages of jack and Susan
riadik2000 [5.3K]
X - Jack's age
y - Susan's age

Jack is 27 years older than Susan.
x=y+27

In 5 years he will be 4 times as old as she is.
x+5=4(y+5)

The system of equations:
x=y+27 \\ x+5=4(y+5) \\ \\ \hbox{substitute y+27 for x in the 2nd equation:} \\ y+27+5=4(y+5) \\ y+32=4y+20 \\ y-4y=20-32 \\ -3y=-12 \\ y=\frac{-12}{-3} \\ y=4 \\ \\ x=y+27=4+27=31

Jack is 31 years old and Susan is 4 years old.

A researcher wants to determine whether the rate of water flow (in liters per second) over an experimental soil bed can be used
pantera1 [17]

Here we are given the specific equation of:

amount of eroded soil = 0.4 + 1.3 x

where x is the flow rate

 

A linear equation has a general formula in the form of:

y = m x + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept of the equation

 

If we compare this with our specific equation, we can see that the slope and y intercept are both positive with values:

m = 0.4

b = 1.3

Therefore this only means that as the flow rate increases, the amount of eroded soil also increases.

Hence the correlation must be positive but we cannot solve for the exact value since we need the data for x and y.


Answer: 

positive, but we cannot say what the exact value is
