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.

===============================================
Explanation:
Since the center of dilation is the origin, we multiply each preimage coordinate by 2.5 (which is the scale factor).
For example, the preimage point J(-1, 2) moves to J ' (-2.5, 5)
-1*2.5 = -2.52*2.5 = 5This will cause the image triangle I'J'K' to be larger than the preimage IJK. Specifically, each side of the image is 2.5 times longer compared to the preimage.
Answer:
i' (-5, -2.5) J' (-2.5, 5) K' (5, -2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
you just take the original coordinates and multiply them by 2.5

Answer:
Here is your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
A cubic spline is a spline constructed of piecewise third order polynomials which pass through a set of control points. The second derivative of each polynomial is commonly set to zero at the endpoints since this provides a boundary condition that completes the system of equations.

Which function has a greater rate of change?
Answer:
Function A
Step-by-step explanation:
In function A as x increases by 1, y increases by 5.
In function B there is a slope of -4.5 which means as x increases by 1, y increases by -4.5.
Rate of change of 5 is greater than a rate of change of -4.5.
Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC. Prove that ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.
Answer is below in the picture:-
(From the problem, we know (triangle)ABC (round of equal of) (triangle)A'B'C'. So, <A'B'C' = <ABC {the properties of congruent triangles}. So, ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA')
I hope it helps.
It is proved that the ray BC is the angle bisector of angle ABA'.
What are angle bisectors?Angle bisectors are lines who bisect the considered angle. Bisect refers to splitting in two equal parts. Therefore, the bisected parts of the considered angle are half of the original angle.
When a graph is reflected along an axis, say x axis, then that leads the graph to go just in opposite side of the axis as if it in a mirror.
We will find that its symmetric, thus each point is equidistant from the axis of reflection as that of the image of that point.
From the given problem, we know Triangle A'B'C' is a reflection of triangle ABC across line BC.
Therefore, <A'B'C' = <ABC
By the properties of congruent triangles. Means if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.
Hence, the ray BC is the angle, bisector of angle ABA'.

O A. y=-7x
O B. y= 2
O C. y = 2
O D. y=-3x
Answer:
y=7/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-7-0)/(-3-0)
m=-7/-3
m=7/3
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-0=7/3(x-0)
y=7/3(x)
y=7/3x
Equation of the line through (0,0) and (-3,-7) is y=7/3x
What is Slope of Line?The slope of the line is the ratio of the rise to the run, or rise divided by the run. It describes the steepness of line in the coordinate plane.
The slope intercept form of a line is y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of line passing through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
m=y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
We need to find the equation of the line through (0,0) and (-3,-7)
m=-7/-3=7/3
Now let us find the y intercept
-7=7/3(-3)+b
b=0
So the equation is y=7/3x
Hence, equation of the line through (0,0) and (-3,-7) is y=7/3x

Write a few sentences to end Sarah’s story. How many shark teeth did she find? How many shark teeth did John find? How much money did they earn?
Answer: Sarah found 10 shark teeth(3 + 7 = 10).
John found 5 shark teeth(10/2 = 5).
The total money they earned was $5 x 15 = $75.
Explanation;
Given that:
$5 per shark tooth15 total collected shark teeth5 x 15 = 75, therefore the total money Sarah and John earned was $75.
The few sentences to end Sarah's story are: Sarah found 10 shark teeth for $50. John found 5 shark teeth for $25. They got $75 from their neighbor in total.
Answer:
Sarah’s neighbor offers to pay her $5 for every shark tooth she finds on the beach. After collecting only three shark’s teeth, Sarah decides to share the opportunity with her friend John. Sarah can find shark teeth twice as fast as John, but she can earn even more money with his help.
Sarah can use the expression 5(2j + 3 + j) to represent the amount of money they can earn.
Part 1: Writing Expressions
Q1. Write an expression that looks like Sarah’s expression: 5(2j + 3 + j). Replace the coefficients so that your expression is not equivalent. You may use any number that you choose to replace the coefficients. Be sure to leave the variables the same. For example, 8(3j + 7 + 3j) looks like Sarah’s expression but is not equivalent.

How to Overcome Insecurity
Step 1
The first step of Voice Therapy involves vocalizing your self-critical thoughts in the second person.You can also write down these thoughts.
Step 2
In the second step, you can start to think and talk about the insights and reactions you have to exposing these mean thoughts.
Step 3
People often struggle with the third step of this process, because it involves standing up to long-held beliefs and insecurities about oneself. You will answer back to your voice attacks, expressing your real point of view.
Step 4
In step five of Voice Therapy, you start to make a connection between how the voice attacks are influencing your present-day behaviors.
Step 5
The final step involves making a plan to change these behaviors. If insecurity is keeping you from asking someone on a date or going after a promotion, it’s time to do the actions anyway. If you’re indulging in self-hating thoughts that encourage you to engage in self-destructive behaviors, it’s time to interrupt these behaviors and unleash the real you.
