C=carlo=13
x=sister


carlos (13) is (=) 5 years older (5+) twice sisters age (2 times x)
13=5+2x
mius 5 both sides
13-5=5-5+2x
8=0+2x
8=2x
divide both sides by 2
4=x

2x+5=13
x=4

Answer:

2x+5=13

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlos is five years older than twice his sister's age. carlos is 13.

Let x represents the sister's age

Carlos age = twice of sisters age plus 5 years

twice of sister's age means 2 times sister's age

Carlos age = 2x+5

Now Carlos age is 13

So the equation is 13= 2x+5

Now we solve for x to find the solution

2x+5=13

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x=8

Divide both sides by 2

x=4

Can you combine like terms without formally showing the distributive property? Explain.
blsea [12.9K]
Yes you can! Say you have 5(2 + x) + 3x. The answer would be 10+8x because when you use the distributive property you will end up getting 5*2 5*x and once you multiply, it's obvious 5 times 2 is 10 and 5 times x will equal 5x. Then you add 5x and 3x and get 8x. So, the simplified expression here is 10+8x. When you have this as an answer it's proving your answer right. You can without using the distributive property. We can have 10+5x+3x and it will be your simplified expression. It's the same thing with equations too.
