Oh, this one lol. ok
you gotta read it like its a book.
4 x s(i picked that variable) which is 4s together
4s+12 (if they said'12 less than' then the 12 gotta be adding.)
then u have to divide it so its going to look like this:
4s+12= blah blah blah
'twice the greater number' means you gotta do this: 2(s+2)
so the problem is this: 4s+12=2(s+2)
now you solved it and the answer will beeeeee s=-4
Answer:
N+F=42 & F+3N=70 System Solved: Natalie is 14 and Fred is 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Using variables N=natalies age and F=Freds age
N+F=42 ----> N=42-F (take this and plug it into the other equation)
F+3N=70 so F+3(42-F)=70 [simplify] F+126-3F=70 [further simplify]
-2F=-56 [divide -56 by -2] F=28 [then plug this number into the orig. equation]
So N+28=42 or N=14.
Start with
Add 2x to both sides:
Subtract 21 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 5. Since it is positive, we don't have to change the inequality sign:
So, the answer is 
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Looking at the diagram, we see that four angles are formed by the intersection of two lines. The angles highlighted in blue and green are therefore, vertical angles. We know that vertical angles have equal angle measures meaning that in this case, the measure of the blue angle is equal to the measure of the green angle. Using this, we can now solve for x:
7x+49=2x+94
7x-2x=94-49
5x=45
x=45/5
x=9
