Answer:

Helen is 24; Robert is 39

Step-by-step explanation:

If Helen's age is x, Robert's age is x + 15. We can write:

x + x + 15 = 63

2x + 15 = 63

2x = 48

x = 24

This means that Helen's age is 24 and Robert's age is 24 + 15 = 39.

Ab + c = d solve for B

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

b = (d-c)/a

Step-by-step explanation:

ab + c = d

We want to solve for b, so we need to get b alone

Subtract c from each side

ab+c-c = d-c

ab = (d-c)

Divide each side by a

ab/a = (d-c)/a

b = (d-c)/a
