Let's call Maura's age now M and Cara's age now C.
We know Maura is five years younger than Cara. In symbols that is, M - 5 = C
We also know that 7 years ago Maura's age was half of Cara's. Maura's age 7 years ago was M-7 and Cara's age seven years ago was C-7. Since Maura's age (7 years ago) was half of Cara's we can write in symbols:

Let's take that last equation and substitute C - 5 for M (this is because according to our first equation these are equal). When we do this we get an equation with only C as the variable and solve for C as follows:







Cara is 17. Since Maura is 5 years younger she is 12.
As a check, seven years ago Cara was 10 and Maura was 5. It is the case that Maura was half Cara's age seven years ago.

Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+6=8x+18
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
4x+6=8x+18
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+4x-8x=+18-6
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
-4x=+12
We divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get x.
x=-3
Answer:
when x = 0, the answer is 0
when x = 3, the answer is 24
when x = 4, the answer is 32
A regular polygon is drawn in a circle so that each vertex is on the circle
Each of the central angles has a measure of 40
360 / 40 = 9
so the polygon has 9 sides
Answer is the second option
9
