Answer: 26 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = current age of Louise (in years).
Then current age of James = x+6
Eight years from now, James's age = x+6+8= x+14
4 years ago, Louise's age = x-4
According to the question
x+14 = 4(x-4)
⇒ x+14 = 4x-16
⇒ 4x-x = 16+14
⇒ 3x = 30
⇒ x= 10 = current age of Louise (in years).
current age of James = 10+6 = 16 years
Sum of current ages = 16+10=26 years.
hence, the sum of the current ages is 26 years.

Answer:
3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the present age of Hans and y be the present age of Grace,
Since, in present Grace is three times as old as Hans,
⇒ y = 3x
⇒ 3x - y = 0
Now, after 5 years,
The age of Hans = x + 5,
And, the age of Grace = y + 5
Also, in 5 years Grace will be twice as old as Hans is then,
⇒ y + 5 = 2 ( x + 5 )
⇒ y + 5 = 2x + 10
⇒ 2x - y = -5
Hence, the required system of linear equations is,
3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5
In standard form its written
3x-12=-9
if you need help solving then here you go as well
3x-12=-9
add 12 to both sides
3x=3
divide both sides by 3
x=1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
perp. -3/2
y + 2 = -3/2(x - 4)
y + 2 = -3/2x + 6
y = -3/2x + 4
answer is D
