Answer:

x = 7

y = 11

z = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y + z = 32

Let's say the youngest is x, middle is y and oldest is z.

y= x+4 (age of the youngest + 4)

z= 2x (twice as old)

We can replace y and z in the main equation above with these values that contain x.

x + (x + 4) + 2x = 32

4x = 28, divide both sides by 4

x = 7

y = x + 4 = 7 + 4 = 11

z = 2x = 2*7 = 14

And to check: 7 + 11 + 14 = 32

Answer:

Oldest=14

Middle=11

Youngest=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Oldest is 2x youngest (7*2=14)

one you figure out the youngest (7) then *2 to get eldest(14)

32-7=25

25-14=11<--age of middle child that is 4 years older than youngest (7+4=11)

Oxana [17]

Answer:

Answer:x=

−3z−1

0

Step-by-step explanation:x=

Step 1: Add -2x to both sides.

2x+3z+4+−2x=2x+3+−2x

3z+4=3

Step 2: Add -3z to both sides.

3z+4+−3z=3+−3z

4=−3z+3

Step 3: Add -4 to both sides.

4+−4=−3z+3+−4

0=−3z−1

Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.

0

=

2(3x + 5) = 9x + 9 - 3x + 1​
ELEN [110]
2(3x+5)=9x+9-3x+1
(2)(3x)+(2)(5)=9x+9-3x+1
6x+10=9x+9-3x+1
6x+10=(9x-3x)+(9+1)
6x+10=6x+10
6x-6x+10=6x-6x+10
10=10
10-10=10-10
