Sally is 45 and Beth is 15.

45 + 15 = 60

15*3 = 45

Answer: Present age of Beth is 24 years.

And Present age of Sally becomes 36 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Beth be 'x'.

Six years ago,

Age of Beth becomes (x-6) years

Age of Sally becomes

3(x-6)\ yrs

Sum of Sally and Beth's age = 60

According to question, it becomes

x-6+3(x-6)=60+6+6\\\\x-6+3x-18=72\\\\4x-24=72\\\\4x=72+24\\\\4x=96\\\\x=\frac{96}{4}=24\ yrs

So, Present age of Beth is 24 years.

And Present age of Sally becomes 60-24=36 years.

How to solve 2/3(6x-9)=-34
castortr0y [4]
\frac{2}{3} (6x-9)=-34 \\ \\  \frac{2(6x - 9)}{3} =-34 \\ \\  \frac{2 \times 3(2x-3)}{3} =-34 \\ \\  \frac{6(2x - 3)}{3} = -34 \\ \\ 2(2x - 3) = -34 \\ \\ 2x - 3 - \frac{34}{2} \\ \\ 2x - 3 = -17 \\ \\ 2x -17 + 3 \\ \\ 2x = -14 \\ \\ x = - \frac{14}{2} \\ \\ x = -7 \\ \\ Answer: \fbox {x = -7}

I NEED MEGA HELP WITH THIS QUESTION
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

C. y =  -  \frac{1}{4} x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope using coordinates, use the formula above.

(4, - 3) \: (0, - 2)→ \frac{ - 2 - ( - 3)}{0 - 4}→ \frac{ - 2 + 3}{ - 4} → -  \frac{1}{4}

Now, using the y = mx + b formula, plug in -  \frac{1}{4} as m (slope) and either coordinate as the x and y values. It looks like this:

- 3 =   - \frac{1}{4}(4)  + b

To solve for b, continue to use PEMDAS.

- 3 =   - \frac{1}{4}(4)  + b→ - 3 =  - 1 + b→ - 2 = b

Now use m and b to solve for your equation:

y =  -  \frac{1}{4} x - 2

The answer is C.

Answer:

4, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formulas for 180 clockwise and counterclockwise wise is -x,-y since both of them are negative they would become positive because -x * -x = + same with y.
