Let "x" represent the age of Brian.
Andrew is elder than Brian by 2 years, we can symbolize his age as "x+2"
Frank is twice as old as Andrew, we can symbolize his age as "2(x+2)"
Sarah has half the age of Brian's, we can symbolize her age as "x/2"
Frank ans Sarah's ages differ by 40 years, we can symbolize this as:
Solve the term is parenthesis
x=24 years
Andrew's age is
Andrew is 26 years old
2/5 and 1/3 have a common denominator of 15. 6/15, 5/15, and 4/15 add up to 15/15. So the chances of rock are 4/15. 120 divided by 15 is 8. Six times eight equals fourty eight, five times eight equals forty, and four times eight equals thirty two. So there are 48 classical songs, 40 jazz songs, and 32 rock songs.
80=-8a
We are trying to solve for a. So we need to get a alone. To do that we have to divide each side by -8.
80/-8= -8a/-8
Once you have solved each side you will get the following.
-10=a
If you put brackets around (2+1), your method of working is:
1) 15-4*(2+1)=3
2) 15-4*3=3
3) 15-12=3
You don't need any more brackets, as the BIDMAS (brackets, Indices, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) rule does the rest of the job for you.
The answer is therefore: 15-4*(2+1)=3
Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
2/12 can be reduced to 1/6
