Answer:
20 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Joe = J
Sydney = S
J = 5 + S
J + S = 45
Substitute
5 + S + S = 45
Add
5 + 2S = 45
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation
2S = 40
Divide both sides of the equation by 2
S = 20
Sydney is 20 years old
Hope this helps :)
Hey there!
“2 (5x + 3)”
• FIRST and ONLY STEP: DISTRIBUTE 2 to ALL OF YOUR NUMBERS in the parentheses
2(5x) + 2(3)
2(5x) = 10x ⬅️ FRONT number
2(3) = 6 ⬅️ BACK number
BOTH OF YOUR NUMBERS ARE POSITIVE SO WE DON’T HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING
Answer: 10x + 6 ☑️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
