Jeremy=x
Older sister=x+5
younger sister=x+5-9 or x-4
x+(x+5)+(x-4)=49
combine like terms
3x+5-4=49
3x+1=49
subtract 1 from both sides
3x=48
divide both sides by 3
x=16
Jeremy=16
Older sister=16+5=21
younger sister =16-4 or 16+5-9=12
J=16
OS=21
YS=12

4/f + 11 =29 what does f =
Delvig [45]
\frac{4}{f} + 11 = 29

First, subtract '11' from each side.
\frac{4}{f} = 29 - 11

Second, subtract '29 - 11' to get '18'.
\frac{4}{f} = 18

Third, since we are solving for f, we have to get it by itself. Multiply each side by 'f'.
4 = 18f

Fourth, once again, we need to get 'f' alone. Divide both sides by 18. 
\frac{4}{18} = f

Fifth, now that we have 'f' by itself, we can simplify the current fraction. To do so, we need to start off with listing the factors of 4 and 18 and find the greatest common factor (GCF).

Factors of 4: 1, 2, 4
Factors of 18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

Out of the listed factors, 1 and 2 are the common factors, and since 2 is the highest number out of them, it is considered the greatest common factor. The GCF is 2.

Sixth, divide the numerator and denominator by the GCF (2).
4 \div 2 = 2  \\  18 \div 2 = 9

Seventh, we can now rewrite our fraction in simplest form and switch sides.
f =  \frac{2}{9}

Answer in fraction form: \fbox {2/9}
Answer in decimal form: \fbox {0.2222}

Show how to make ten to solve 13-7. Write in a number sentence. _-_-_-_-_=_
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: The answer is 6.

The number sentence is

3-3=0

10-4=6

So, 13-7=6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve 13-7, by making ten

First break 13 and write 13=10+3

Then break 7 as 7=3+4

Now to subtract 7 from 13,

Step 1. Subtract 3 (a part of 7), from 3(a part of 13) or cross 3 circles, then we have left 10-4

13-7=10+3-(3+4)=10+3-3-4=10-4

Step 2. Subtract 4 from 10 or cross 4 circles out of 10, we get 6.

The answer is 6.
