Option A, because you split the (2x + 3) into 2x and 3.
-4(x+10)-6=-3(x-2)
-4x-40-6=-3x+6
-4x-46=-3x+6
-4x-46+46=-3x+6+46
-4x=-3x+52
-4x+3x=-3x+3x+52
-x=52
(-x/-1)=(52/-1)
x=-52
Answer:
you put in the number 6 but you leave room uptop so enter and then put 6 for the----- so in other words
-----
6
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
