Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.
I believe its B

Answer:
y=3x
idk
Step-by-step explanation:
I know this is only half an answer, but for a they have the same slope and it's proportional so it has no b value.
Assuming we have parallel lines, we can solve for x.
Since a = 3x - 10 (vertically opposite angles are equal),
3x - 10 = 2x + 15 (alternate angles are equal)
x = 25
Hence, angle a = 3(25) - 10 = 65°
24 divided by 3 = 8
but thers two third so 8+8=16
