Present age of Selma = s

Present age of Joyce = j

Selma is now 3 times as old as joyce

s=3j........(1)

Four years ago,

s-4=j-4

then

Selma was 4 times as old as joyce

s-4=4(j-4)

s-4=4j-16

s=4j-16+4

s=4j-12.............(2)

Put the value of s in (2) from (1)

3j=4j-12

3j-4j=-12

-j=-12

Multiply by -1 both sides

j=12

Put the value of j in (1)

s=3j

s=3(12)

s=36

Present age of Selma = s = 36 years old

Present age of Joyce = j = 12 years old

The graph shows the distance Kendrick walks in different lengths of time.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

1) 5

2) 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached below.

The x-axis represents the time in hours and y-axis represents the distance in kilometers.

The first question asks how many kilometers, does Kendrick walk per hour. The straight line represents the distance traveled at various amounts of time.

The point marked on the graph is against time = 1 hour and Distance = 5 km. So this shows:

Kendrick walks 5 kilometers in 1 hour.

In next part, we have to find how much time Kendrick takes to walk 1 kilometer.

Since, we know that:

Kendrick walks 5 kilometers in time = 1 hour

Dividing both sides by 5, we can write:

Kendrick walks 1 kilometer in time = 1/5 hour = 0.2 hour

So, Kendrick takes 0.2 hours to walk 1 kilometer.

W = 3x + 7y solve for y
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The value of the equation y=\frac{W-3x}{7}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

W = 3x + 7y

We need to solve the provided equation for y.

Subtract 3x from both side.

W-3x= 3x-3x+ 7y

W-3x=7y

Divide both sides by 7.

\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{W-3x}{7}

y=\frac{W-3x}{7}

Hence, the value of the equation is y=\frac{W-3x}{7}.
