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:

x = 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ACD is similar to triangle ABE based on the information given, therefore we can set up a proportion to compare the sides:

side AE / side EB = side AD / side DC

4/6 = 10/x

Solve for x

x = (10)(6) / 4

x = 60 / 4

x = 15 ft

The clownfish kay wanted to buy for $12 last week has been marked up 8%. What is the new price of the fish?
Crank
The markup is 8%, meaning it costs 8% more.
The starting price is 100%.
Therefore, the markup is 108% of $12.
If we multiply 12 by 108% (1.08), we will get our answer of $12.96
