X is Andrews age and if x stands for Andrew then
x-28=5x-160
then you would do =+160 to both sides getting x+132=5x
subtract the x from the side with 132 and then do 4 divided by 132
getting 33
Andrew is 33
Answer:
the answer would be 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Negative because it is below sea level.
To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
