It's quite simple. Look:

Lets let S- be the age of Sally and B- can be the age of Beth

S+B=60
S-6=3(B-6)

S-6=3B-18
S=3B-18+6
S=3B-12

3B-12+B=60
4B=60+12
4B=72
B=72/4
B=18

B=60-18
B=42

The ages are (B)18 and (S)42

Hope this helps!! :)

Find the slope? Work on how you got answer please
Anastaziya [24]
The slope is 2.

Reason: you find the slope by dividing the difference of the y-coordinates (5 and 9) by the difference of the x coordinates (1 and 3)
9-5=4
3-1=2
4 divided by 2 =2

He measure of one angle of an octagon is twice that of the other seven angles. what is the measure of each angle? answer: ,
Scrat [10]
Answer:
measure of larger angle = 240 degrees
measure of each of the smaller angles = 120 degrees

Explanation:
In any polygon, the sum of measures of interior angles can be calculated using the following rule:
sum of interior angles = (n-2)*180 where n is the number of sides

Now, for an octagon, n=8, this means that:
sum of measures of interior angles = (8-2)*180 = 1080°

An octagon has 8 interior angles, one of which is twice the measure of the others.
Assume that each of the 7 smaller angles is x degrees and that the larger angle is 2x degrees

Computing their summation, we will find that:
x + x + x + x + x + x + x + 2x = 1080
9x = 1080
x = 120

This means that:
each one of the smaller angles = x = 120 degrees
the larger angle = 2x = 2 * 120 = 240 degrees

Hope this helps :)

In circle A shown below, the measure of ∠BAD is 148°: Circle A with angle BAD measuring 148 degrees; points B, C, D lie on Circl
german

Answer:

52°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached, Circle A is shown. There we can see that:

∠BC + ∠CD =  ∠BAD

We know that Arc BC measures 96° and arc BAD measures 148°. Replacing this data into the equation and solving for Arc CD, we get:

96° + ∠CD =  148°

∠CD = 148° - 96°

∠CD = 52°

6 numbers form an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 4. THe sum of these numbers equals 12. What are the 6 numbers.
frutty [35]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the formula for an arithmetic sequence which will be:

a + (n - 1)d

where a = unknown

n = 6

d = 4

We then slot them into the formula

a + (6 - 1)4 = 12

a + 5(4) = 12

a + 20 = 12

a = 12 - 20

a = -8

The 6 numbers are

1st term = -8

2nd term = -8 + 4 = -4

3rd term = -4 + 4 = 0

4th term = 0 + 4 = 4

5th term = 4 + 4 = 8

6th term = 8 + 4 = 12

Please help! i promise ill give brainliest, tysm
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

f(x) = x(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The easy way to do this is to look at it graphically. an inverse function is reflected across the line y=x. f(x)=x(x-1) is an upward opening parabola when reflected, there are two y-values for all positive values of x. A function can only have one y for every x.
