Answer: 26 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = current age of Louise (in years).
Then current age of James = x+6
Eight years from now, James's age = x+6+8= x+14
4 years ago, Louise's age = x-4
According to the question
x+14 = 4(x-4)
⇒ x+14 = 4x-16
⇒ 4x-x = 16+14
⇒ 3x = 30
⇒ x= 10 = current age of Louise (in years).
current age of James = 10+6 = 16 years
Sum of current ages = 16+10=26 years.
hence, the sum of the current ages is 26 years.
39 miles. If d=rt and the rate is 16 mph and the time is 3 hours then 16 times 3 gives the distance of 39 miles. I could be wrong but that is what I would have done. I’m not sure if there are answer choices or not
Answer:9
Step-by-step explanation:
Because things are better guessed
1)-8(-2x+6)+(-10)
16x-48-10
16x-50
2) 9(x-8)-17x
9x-72-17x
-8x-72
