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

Subtract. –5.8 – (–8.4) A. –14.2 B. –2.6 C. 2.6 D. 14.2
svp [43]
-5.8 - (-8.4)

When we multiply two negatives they become a positive. In this situation, where there is no other number, you can assume there's basically a 1 in that place. 

-5.8 - 1(-8.4) would be just as correct. (If this helps visually clarify anything.)

So we take that -1 and multiply it by that -8.4. Multiplying 1 against anything leaves it the same, so we just need to change the sign. Two negatives make a positive. 

-5.8 + 8.4

Now we add these together.

This gives us our final answer of 2.6

Please solve both of these with how you solved them.

Answer:

a. (2,5)

b. (14,15.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

y=4x-3

y=-2x+9

Set both equations equal to each other to solve for x.

4x-3=-2x+9

6x=12

x=2

Plug in x to solve for y.

y=4x-3

y=4(2)-3

y=8-3

y=5

(2,5)

b.

y=(5/4x)-2

y=(-1/4x)+19

Set both equations equal to each other to solve for x.

(5/4x)-2=(-1/4x)+19

4((5/4x)-2=(-1/4x)+19)

5x-8=-x+76

6x=84

x=14

Plug in x to solve for y.

y=(5/4x)-2

y=(5/4(14))-2

y=17.5-2

y=15.5

(14,15.5)
