Move the negative sign to the left
-x/5 = -20
Multiply both sides by 5
-x = -20 × 5
Simplify 20 × 5 to 100
-x = -100
Multiply both sides by -1
<em>x = 100</em>
<u>C. 100</u>
180 + 30x = 60 + 50x
⇒ 20x = 120
⇒ x = 6 minutes

Laura's age is 9 years.
Solution:
Let x be the age of April.
Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age
<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>
Half of April's age = 
2 years more than half of April's age = 
Combined age of April and Laura = 23
⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23



To add the fractions make the denominators same.
Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get


Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

Do cross multiplication.




Aprils's age = 14 years
Laura's age = 
= 7 + 2
Laura's age = 9
Hence Laura's age is 9 years.
