So the equation for these types of equations is f(x) = a(x-h)+k with h being a horizontal translation, a being a stretch/compression and k being a vertical translation. So here if you want a stretch of 4 a would be four, g(x)=4(-3x-h)+k. Also, there is a horizontal translation so it would be positive 4 into the equation. Since there is no change in the y-axis there is no vertical translation resulting in g(x) = 4(-3x-4)
Lets consider SAM's age is 'x' and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.
So the Hank's age is 9 years
.
Your answer will be x= -4y/3 + 55/3
The answer should be
4.
First, simplify

to 4. Your problem should look like: 4 x 1.
Second, multiply. 4 x 1 = 4 so that is your answer.
Also, to start the equation up, make sure to add in the numbers in replace for the letters. Your problem to start with should look like:
