To do this, we need to know how much older than her daughter Sharon. She is 30 years older, so we get
d = s - 30
We want to figure out when d = s - 30, and 4d = s, so here's what we do:
Since 4d = s, we can substitute 4d for all occurences of s
d = 4d - 30
And then we can solve for d
-3d=-30
d=10
And then we plug that number into our original equation
10 = s-30
40 = s
Sharon was 40 years old when she was 4 times her daughter's age. Since she is now 42, we know she was 4 times her daughter's age 2 years ago

Two consecutive positive integers have a product of 6. what are the integers
sergejj [24]

Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

Can somebody help me please!!!
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Part A: 0

Part B: 0 or 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: anything to the 0 power is 1 (x^0= x^y-y) if you solve 7^2 you get 49. 49^0= 1

Part B: Because it is already being raised to the power of 0, if x=0 it will remain equal to one (as explained above). Anything raised to the 1 power is itself, so 7^0= 1 and 1^1 =1

Hope this helped!

IM IN DESPERATE NEED FOR HELP SOMEONE HURRRRYYY
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

yes, triangle DEF is similar to triangle DBC, BC corresponds to EF, and angle DCB corresponds to angle F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Angle D is congruent to angle D by the reflexive property. Since line BC is parallel to line EF then angle DCB = angle DFE by corresponding angles.  Hence triangle DEF is similar to triangle DBS by the AA Similarity Postulate.

Part B: BC corresponds to EF because they are in the same order and the triangles listed DEF and DBC

Part C: Angle DCB corresponds to angle F since they are corresponding angles with the two given parallel lines BC and EF.
