<span>Julia is X+5
</span><span>x+x+5=31
</span>
Now we just solve the equation
2x=31-5
x=26/2
x=13 years old (Babs' age)
and we know that julia is 5 years older this gives us the conclusion that.
13+18=31
First find X by subtracting 9.8 from 14.7
X should equal 4.9
than fill in the equation for x
8(4.9-3.7)
you then subtract in the parenthasis
getting the answer of 1.2
finally multiply 1.2x8
Your final answer is 9.6
