Answer:
Sam is 24; his mom is 48.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let x and y represent Sam's age and his mom's age, respectively.
y = 2x . . . . . Mom is twice Sam's age
y -12 = x + 12 . . . . Mom's age 12 years ago is the same as Sam's age 12 years from now
__
Substituting for y in the second equation, we have ...
2x -12 = x + 12
x = 24 . . . . . . . . . add 12-x to both sides
y = 2(24) = 48
Sam is 24; his mom is 48.

Suppose the spinner lands on <em>a</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>a</em> the second time.
Suppose the spinner lands on <em>b</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>b</em> the second time.
Suppose the spinner lands on <em>c</em>. There's a 1/3 chance that it'll land on <em>c</em> the second time.
We've covered all possibilities for the first spin, and they're all equal, so their average is 1/3.
The probability that it'll land on the same letter twice is 33.3%.
Answer: x = 14/23
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-6=4(2-3x)-8x
3x-6=8-12x-8x --> Expand 4(2-3x)
3x-6=8-20x --> Collect like terms
3x-6+6=8-20x+6 --> Add 6 to both sides, to remove it from the right side
3x=-20x+14
3x+20x=-20x+14+20x --> Add 20x to both sides, to remove it from the left side
23x=14
--> Divide both sides by 23
x = 14/23
