X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age
Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:
-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)
x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)
| basically,
v
x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.
6/2 - 2 = y
3 - 2 = y
1 = y
ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.
Im lost at this sorry, hope sum1 helps you out on this tho!
If the greater integer is m, then the smaller integer must be (m-3) because the integers are 3 units apart on a number line. It cannot be in front of m, because m is the greater so it must be behind m meaning it is 3 units less. Product is the technical term for the result of a multiplication problem so m(m-3) = 108 would be the answer.
Final Answer: m(m-3) = 108
If you are trying to find the answer for x it would 20
