Answer:

Michael is 36 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M represent Michael's age, and let B represent Brandon's age,

"Michael is 4 times as old as Brandon" becomes

M = 4B

"Michael is also 27 years older than Brandon" becomes

M = B + 27

Since the two equations are equal to M, they are equal to each other, so we have...

4B = B + 27 now solve for B...

3B = 27

B = 9

There fore

M = 9 + 27 = 36

Step-by-step explanatU

using the

formula D = b^2 - 4ac for discriminant

Maria solved the equation. 4 (3 x minus 8) minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 32 minus 4 = 24. 12 x minus 36 = 24. 12 x = 60. x = 5. What

Answer:

1. Distributive property.

2. Combining like terms.

3. Addition property of equality.

4. Division property of equality.

Step-by-step explanation:

- The Distributive property states that:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ab$

- The Addition property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a+c=b+c$

- The Subtraction property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a-c=b-c$

- The Multiplication property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ a*c=b*c$

- The Division property of equality states that:

$If\ a=b\ then\ \frac{a}{c}=\frac{b}{c}$

Given the following equation:

$4(3x-8)-4=24$

We can identify that the methods Maria used to solve it and the order, are:

1. Distributive property:

$(4)(3x)-(4)(8)-4=24\\\\12x-32-4=24$

2. Combining (or adding) like terms:

$12x-36=24$

3. Addition property of equality, because she added 36 to both sides of the equation:

$12x-36+36=24+36\\\\12x=60$

4. Division property of equality, because she divided both sides of the equation by 12:

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{60}{12}\\\\x=5$
