Answer:
x=-11/8
Step-by-step explanation:
First use the Distributive property on [3(2x-1)]:
5x+6x-3=3x-14
Now combine alike terms:
11x-3=3x-14
Now add three to both sides:
11x=3x-11
Now subtract 3x from both sides:
8x=-11
Now divide both sides by 8:
x=-11/8
This fraction cannot be simplified meaning your final answer SHOULD be -11/8
The answer is 19.25, because when you ..
Answer:
24 and 48
Today, the son is 24 years old, and the father is 48 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52
3x + 20 = 52
3x = 72
x = 24
The father is 2 times his son's age.
2x
= 2(24)
= 48
So, the son is 24 and the father is 48.
10 years ago, son was 14 and father was 38, if added, this adds up to 52, so we know our calculations are correct.
