Let present age of women be x.

Then,Present age of her daughter be y.

According to the question,

<u>Two years ago,</u>

Woman age = x - 2

Her daughter age = y - 2

Woman was 7 times old as her daughter. [ Given ]

x - 2 = 7 ( y - 2 )

=> x - 2 = 7y - 14

=> x - 2 + 14 = 7y

=> x + 12 = 7y ....( i )

<u>A</u><u>f</u><u>t</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>Three years </u>,

Woman age = x + 3

Her daughter age = y + 3

she would be 4 times old as the girl. [ Given ]

x + 3 = 4 ( y + 3 )

=> x + 3 = 4y + 12

=> x = 4y + 12 - 3

=> x = 4y + 9....( ii (

Now,

★ Putting the value of x = 4y + 9 from equation ( ii ) in equation ( i ),we get

x + 12 = 7y

=> 4y + 9 + 12 = 7y

=> 21 = 7y - 4y

=> 21 = 3y

=> 3y = 21

=> y = 21/3

=> y = 7

And,

x = 4y + 9

★ Putting the value of y in equation ( ii ), we get

x = 4 × 7 + 9

x = 28 + 9

x = 37

Hence, the present age of women is 37 years and her daughter age is 7.

14. (n-5)*4+7
15. No, this would not be neccesary because if I were to distribute 1/2 to both 4 and 6, I know that I would get half of those numbers which would give me 2x+3. I also know that if I distribute 1/3 to both 9 and 24, I would get 1/3 of each number which would be 3 and 8.

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda has 1/2 of a yard of fabric that she wants to use to make bias tape. Each requires 1/8 yards of bias tape. We need to find the no of pieces of bias tape she can make.

It means,

n=\dfrac{1}{2}/\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\n=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{8}}\\\\n=4

Hence, she can make 4 pieces of bias tape.

Solve the equation.<br> 2.5 = 0 - (-20)<br> 0-17.5<br> 0-22.5<br> O 22.5<br> 0 17.5
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Simplifying

0 = 2.5y + -20

Reorder the terms:

0 = -20 + 2.5y

Solving

0 = -20 + 2.5y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.5y' to each side of the equation.

0 + -2.5y = -20 + 2.5y + -2.5y

Remove the zero:

-2.5y = -20 + 2.5y + -2.5y

Combine like terms: 2.5y + -2.5y = 0.0

-2.5y = -20 + 0.0

-2.5y = -20

Divide each side by '-2.5'.

y = 8

Simplifying

y = 8

SO the answer is y=8 I think srry if i get it wrong
