The ages of four sisters are consecutive even integers. Two times the age of the youngest sister exceeds the oldest sister's age

by 30 years. The equation 2x − (x + 6) = 30 models the age, x, of the youngest sister. What is the age of the oldest sister?

Alright, lets get started.

The ages of all four sisters will be = x, x+2, x+4, x+6

As per given in question, two times of youngest sister age exceeds the oldest sister age by 30 means

2x - 30 = (x+6)

Simplifying the equation

2x - (x+6) = 30

2x - x - 6 = 30

x = 36

So this is the age of youngest sister.

So, age of oldest sister will be x + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42

Hene the age of oldest sister is 42 years.   :  Answer

Hope it will help :)

WHICH INEQUILITY IS EQUIVALENT TO X-4<9
frez [133]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:  \textsf{x} < \textsf{13}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:  \textsf{x - 4} < \textsf{9}

Find: \textsf{The simplified inequality}

Solution:  In order to simplify the inequality we can simply add 4 to both sides which would isolate x.

<u>Add 4 to both sides</u>

  • \textsf{x - 4 + 4} < \textsf{9 + 4}
  • \textsf{x} < \textsf{9 + 4}
  • \textsf{x} < \textsf{13}

Therefore, an inequality that would be equivalent to the one that was provided in the problem statement is x < 13.

Answer!! Whoever has the best answer I'll give brainliest!!
RoseWind [281]

There are 2 ways to do this. I'm going to do it the way that I think is most simple.

You have to find their LCM which is 40. Now times 40 to 1/4     v     and 7/10

The equation then becomes 10+40v=28

You simplify it:     40v=18

v= 9/20

What is the equation of the horizontal line through (-4, 6)?
lbvjy [14]
The equation of a horizontal line is
y
=
c
for some constant
c
Since we are told that the line passes through
(
x
,
y
)
=
(
−
4
,
6
)
Then for at least one point on the line
y
=
6
But for a horizontal line this value is a constant for all points on the line.
So the equation for all points on the line is
y
=
6
