Jack was 14 years older than Priscilla. Together their ages totaled 158 years. What were their ages?

Jack's age: 86, Priscilla's age: 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Priscilla's age can be called x, which makes Jack's x + 14. We know that their added ages total 158 years which means that x + x + 14 = 158, which means that 2x + 14 = 158. We can then solve this by subtracting 14 on both sides and getting 2x = 144. We can divide on both sides to get that x = 72. Since Priscilla's age is x and Jack's is x + 14, we already know Priscilla's age and we need to find Jacks by adding 14 to 72. 72 + 14 = 86, so Jack's age is 86.

Jack is 86 years old,

and Priscilla is 72 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

j = Jack

p = Priscilla

j - 14 = p $\Rightarrow$ j = p+14

j+p = 158

By subsituting the value of j ( first equation) into the second equation, we get:

p+14+p = 158

2p+14 = 158

2p = 144

p = 72.

So, j = 86

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
