5(x+4)+16
5x+20+16
And then the solution is 5x+36
1) factor the denominators: 2b/(b-1)2 - 2/ (b-1)2
2) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A COMMON DENOMINATOR
3) combine the numerators: 2b-2/(b-1)2
4) distribute 2 from numerator: 2(b-1)/(b-1)2
5) simplify; answer is 2/(b-1)
Hi! I'm pretty sure this is correct so here it goes:

B. 12 4/6
Answer:
Samuel : x
wife : y
sum of their age : 2+ x : 10
Answer:
The smallest number is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using simultaneous equation;
x+y = 18.....(1)
4x-y = 17.....(2)
from equation (1)..
x+y = 18
y = 18-x...(3)
substitute y into equation (2)
4x-y = 17
4x-(18-x) = 17
4x-18+x = 17
4x+x = 17+18
5x = 35
x = 35÷5
x = 7
substitute x into equation (3)
y = 18-x
y = 18-7
y = 11
Therefore; x=7
y=11
11+7=18
(4×7)-11=17
the smallest number is 7
