Transpose the y into the left part of the equation and the 20 should be on the right
y= -20x
Answer: The average age is 7.1 years.
This problem is an example of when we need to take a weighted average. We simply can't just find the average of 5 and 8, because there are different children of each each.
To start, lets multiply the total number of children by their individual ages.
6 x 5 = 30 years
14 x 8 = 112 years
There are 142 years among the 20 years, so divide 142 by 20. This gives us an average age of 7.1 years.

Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4(4m + -3) + -1(m + -5) = -52
Reorder the terms:
4(-3 + 4m) + -1(m + -5) = -52
(-3 * 4 + 4m * 4) + -1(m + -5) = -52
(-12 + 16m) + -1(m + -5) = -52
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 16m + -1(-5 + m) = -52
-12 + 16m + (-5 * -1 + m * -1) = -52
-12 + 16m + (5 + -1m) = -52
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 5 + 16m + -1m = -52
Combine like terms: -12 + 5 = -7
-7 + 16m + -1m = -52
Combine like terms: 16m + -1m = 15m
-7 + 15m = -52
Solving
-7 + 15m = -52
Solving for variable 'm'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 7 + 15m = -52 + 7
Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + 15m = -52 + 7
15m = -52 + 7
Combine like terms: -52 + 7 = -45
15m = -45
Divide each side by '15'.
m = -3
Simplifying
m = -3
Hope this helped :)
