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.
Answer:
a) 6 ways
b) 6 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
a) for all of the letters
for the first letter, we have 3 options
for the second, we have 2 options
for the third, we have 1 option
So the number of options will be;
3 * 2 * 1 = 6
b) for the first, we have 3 options, for the second, we have 2 options
so the number of options will be 3 * 2 = 6 options
Answer:
he bought 6 hats.
Step-by-step explanation:
im just gonna go through this 1 at a time. starting at 1.
12 + (14x9) = 138
(12x5)+(14x5) = 130
(12x4)+(14x6) = 132
(12x8)+(14x2) = 124
(12x6)+(14x4) = 128
Solve for x using factorizing:
x^2 + 10 x - 24 = 0
The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:
(x - 2) (x + 12) = 0
Split into two equations:
x - 2 = 0 or x + 12 = 0
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 or x + 12 = 0
Subtract 12 from both sides:
Answer: x = 2 or x = -12
