The answer is 120 what you do you take -10 and multiply it by -12. Why a positive 120 you may ask because when you multiply two numbers with the same sign the answer should be positive no matter what. Hope I helped!

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age

Kipish [7]

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 = $\frac{x}{2}$

2 years more than half of April's age = $\frac{x}{2}+2$

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23$

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23$

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42$

$$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14$

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = $\frac{14}{2}+2$

= 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

4x + 5x + 12 = 6(x-2)<br> Math

Rashid [163]

Hi there! :)

$\large\boxed{x = -8}$

4x + 5x + 12 = 6(x - 2)

Combine like terms and distribute the coefficient outside of the parenthesis:

9x + 12 = 6(x) + 6(-2)

9x + 12 = 6x - 12

Subtract 6x from both sides:

9x - 6x + 12 = 6x - 6x - 12

3x + 12 = -12

Subtract 12 from both sides:

3x + 12 - 12 = -12 - 12

3x = -24

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8.
