.083 or 83/1000 depending on which one you need
A.
Let x = age of Samantha.
Then x - 2 = age of Emily,
and x + 2 = age of Lauren.
b.
x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 42
c.
x - 2 + x + x + 2 = 42
3x = 42
x = 14
x - 2 = 14 - 2 = 12
x + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16
The ages of the sisters are 12, 14, 16.
Add the numbers 7 + 10
17 - 7j = -10 - 4j
subtract 17 from both sides
-7j = -27 - 4j
add 4j to both sides
-3j = -27
divide both sides by -3
j = 9
You would subitute -2 for x in the equation
f(-2)=x^2-6
PEMDAS so exonents
-2^2-6
negative times a negative= positive
4-6
f(-2)=-2
f(x) means that you subsitute x for x in the equation exg
f(1)=x+2 means f(1)=1+2
f(4)=x+2 means f(4)=4+2
