Answer:
You are currently 40 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the current age is represented by the variable x.
x = current age
The question says that "if you take half my age and add 7, you get my age 13 years ago"
This can be represented like this:
1/2(x) + 7 = x - 13
Now we solve for x using basic algebra:
1/2(x) = x - 20
-1/2(x) = -20
x = 40
To check if this is correct, plug it back into the equation and see if both sides equal each other:
1/2(40) + 7 = (40) - 13
20 + 7 = 27
27 = 27

Answer:
It is 12. 12 fossils were found in Wyoming.
Step-by-step explanation:
83x + P = 83x + Q <em>subtract 83x from both sides</em>
P = Q
The equation has no solution for P different Q (P ≠ Q).
Answer: ? = -22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a negative number to replace the ? turns the minus into a plus sign.
-21 - (-22.5) = 1.5 is the same as -21 + 22.5 = 1.5
