The answer is 12.
since we also know that jack is 2 times lucy now then the entire formula would be 2x - 6 = 18 to solve we add 6 to both sides 2x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6 the 6s on the left cancel because when you have a positive and negative of the same number it always = 0 we get 2x = 24 then divide both sides by 2 to get the answer 2x / 2 = 24 / 2 the 2s on the left cancel and you get

J=4L, (J+9)+(L+9)=68  using J=4L in the second equation gives you:

4L+9+L+9=68

5L+18=68

5L=50

L=10 and since J=4L

J=40

So Jack is 40 years old and Lacy is 10 years old.

Answer:

Leave a message at the tone

Cause I can't get to the phone

Only got time for my main thing, main thing

And even if my minutes low, I’ll hit up a payphone

Do anything for the main thing, main thing

Cause I can't get to the phone

Only got time for my main thing, main thing

And even if my minutes low, I'll hit up a payphone

(Verse 1 - Madison)

I don't need no one when you're by my side

We'll go get our nails done, feel just alright

(Pre-Chorus)

Do it for ourselves

Nobody else

Staying our grind, wasting no time

No time for no onе but us (us)

(Chorus)

I know, I know you trying to hangout

Yo, but that's not how it supposed to go, no

First I will call up the main thing

To see if both our schedules are free

Angel numbers, yeah I know

Only numbers on my phone

And if I like it, I'll take two

Cause if I like it, she will too

That same cover since day one

And if she ask me, yes I jump

We're cancer, gemini, what's up?

Never ever switching up

Do it for ourselves

Staying on our grind, wasting no time

Tell me you need me I got ya (I got it)

And we going up like a chopper

And we got the drip like a faucet

I'm catching what ever you're droppin' (I got it)

And lifting you up like an Oscar

You know you my main squeeze

My best friend, you my main thing

It’s funny how we both love the same thing

Same team, same goals, same dreams (yeah)

Everybody know you my main thing (main thing)

I'mma hold it down for my main thing (main thing)

Don't play around by my main thing (main thing)

Main thing, main thing

Cause I can't get to the phone

Only got time for my main thing, main thing

And even if my minutes low, I'll hit up a payphone

(Outro - Madison, Jadah)

Catch me outside with my main thing

Main thing, main thing, main thing, main thing

Please help <3
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

x =3

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x + 4) = 2(5x+9) - 12

First step is to open the brackets by multiplying. It becomes

3×4x + 3×4 = 2×5x + 2×9 -12

12x + 12 = 10x + 18 - 12

Collecting like terms on the right hand side and left hand side of the equation, it becomes

12x -10x = 18 -12 -12

2x = -6

Negative sign on the right hand side of the equation overwhelms the positive sign on left hand side of the equation. It becomes

2x = -6

x = -6/2 = -3

Checking

3(4×-3 + 4) = 2(5×-3+9) - 12

-24 = -12-12= -24

So x = -3
