Justin is 10 years less than father

you know Justin's age so you add 10 years to it to get his dads age

12+10= 22

Lets say justin's age is 'j' and his father's age is 'f'
j = f / 2 - 10
12 = f / 2 - 10
f = j + 10 x 2
f = 12 + 10 = 22 x 2 = 44
Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis always contain equality i.e. (=) sign. The null hypothesis contains the statement regarding population parameter. Here, the claim about population proportion is mentioned in the statement that 10 p.m. newscast of local CBS reaches 41% of viewers. So, the null hypothesis would be

Null hypothesis:H0: p=0.41.

Answer:

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

first you make the coefficients equal to each other by doing a common factor which in this case is 5. Then you have to do the variable for each time the common number is repeated which is 5^x * 5^x= 5^(x+3)*5^(x+3)*5^(x+3) This would make it equal to 5^2x=5^(3x+9). Since the non exponents are common factors you can get rid of them and solve for the exponent by doing 2x=3x+9. You solve that equation to get x=-9.

Jada is solving the equation shown below. Negative one-half (x + 4) = 6 Which is a possible first step to begin to simplify the

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The two options that are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation are (c) Multiply both sides of the equation by –2. and (d). Distribute Negative one-half over (x + 4).

<h3>How to determine which two options are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

Negative one-half (x + 4) = 6

Rewrite the above equation properly

So, we have

-1/2(x + 4) = 6

A possible first step is to multiply both sides of the equation -1/2(x + 4) = 6 by -2

So, we have

x + 4 = -12

Another possible first step is to distribute the expression -1/2(x + 4) in the equation

So, we have

-1/2x - 1/2 * 4 = 6

Hence, the two options that are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation are (c) Multiply both sides of the equation by –2. and (d). Distribute Negative one-half over (x + 4).
