Answer:
B. Beth's age is 18 years, and Sally's age is 42 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this question in a couple of different ways. First, you can use process of elimination. You know that Sally is older than Beth because she has to be 3 times older 6 years ago, so you can get rid of options C and D because they both show Beth as being older. Now you only have A and B, and you can use a different process. Now from just looking at it, you can tell that A actually already shows Sally as 3 times Beth's age, 15 * 3 = 45. If you go to B, you can go ahead and subtract 6 from 18 (Beth's age) which will give you 12, and then multiply that by 3 to get 36. Now if you take 42 (Sally's age) and subtract 6 from it as well, you will get 36. This means that is lines up. To simplify, you are subtracting 6 from both 18 and 42, and then you are multiplying the lower number by 3 to see if it gets to the bigger number.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Area = L * w
w = x
l = x + 4
Area = 32
Solution
32 = x(x + 4)
32 = x^2 + 4x
x^2 + 4x - 32
(x + 8)(x - 4)
Only x - 4 is going to make any sense
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
The width is 4
The length is 4 + 4 = 8
4*8 = 32 which is the area.
When you solve a proportion, your first step should be to cross-multiply.
=
When you cross-multiply, you should get this equation:
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5)
Now, solve it using algebra.
(2x)(3) = (x + 3)(5) Multiply
6x = 5x + 15 Subtract 5x from both sides
x = 15
The value of
x is 15.
