If Linda is now 15 then 5 years ago the was 10 years old.
That means that Jacob was 5 years old 5 years ago (10-5=5)

Using l to represent Linda's age and j for jacobs age. 
jacob will always be 5 years younger than Linda so
j=l-5

Write the largest expression from number 14 in standard form
MaRussiya [10]

Expressing a number in standard form refers to the generally accepted format of expressing numbers in their ordinary form.

Large numbers written in scientific notation can be converted to standard form by writing out the numbers in full instead of raising to the power of 10.

For instance, the number 4.325 × 10³ written in scientific notation can be expressed in standard form thus :

  • 4.325 × 10³
  • 10³ = (10 × 10 × 10)
  • 4.325 × (10 × 10 × 10) = 4.325 × 1000 = 4325

Therefore, 4.325 × 10³ is 4325 in standard form

-5x=15
get x
divide both sides by -5

(-5x)/(-5)=15/(-5)
x=-3
