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: $4.20
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, you need to use the Phythagorean theorem c^2 is equal to the sum of a^2 and b^2. If a less than or equal to b and b is less than or equal to c or a^2 plus b^2 is greater than c^2 then it is an acute angle.

a. $100
b. $360
The formula to find the answers to these kinds of problems is p * r * t. The rate is always a decimal, so if the rate is 8%, you multiply by 0.08. If the rate is 12%, you multiply by 0.12, and so on.

a. 12.8
b. 31 1/6
I got these answers by doing the distributive property. Replace each variable with the number it represents, multiply each by two and add them up to get these answers. For the fraction one, you can set up each fraction by finding the LCD before multiplying by 2, or you can find a fraction calculator online and add the numbers up.

a. x = 20
b. x = 3
c. x = 13
d. x = 0
e. x = 4
f. x = 7
g. x = -3
I solved this problem by doing the distributive property and doing these kinds of problems step by step. It’s long to explain, but hopefully your teacher has good notes for you to look back on over these types of questions. If there is only a negative sign in front of the distributive property equation, then you basically distribute -1 to each number. In these long equations, combine like terms. You must do these kinds of questions right, because it’s easy to mess up and get wrong answers if you don’t do the right steps in order.
We know that 1 ton=2000 lbs
we have 2 tons=4,000 lbs
each crate holds 10 lbs of sugar
4,000/10=400 crates
