We can use a variable equation to solve this. Let A represent alan's age, B represent bob's age, and C represent Cindy's age. So Bob's age would be Alan's age - 5, or a -5 = B. Then Bob's age would be double Cindy's age, so that means 2 multiplied by Cindy's age = Bob's age, or 2C = B. Your two equations are:
A - 5 = B
2C = B
Also a third equation that helps is A + B + C = 20.
Finally, here are the ages.
Alan = 11 years old
Bob = 6 years old
Cindy = 3 years old.

Answer:
3 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
(a+4)(a-3)
a^2 - 3a + 4a - 12
a^2 + a - 12
Answer:

1. find out the common factor in each components which is 3x
2. done.
Answer:
C = 132°
Step-by-step explanation:
(5y + 28) = 12y
5y - 5y + 28 = 12y - 5y
28 = 7y
y = 4
12 (4)
= 48
48 + C = 180°
48 - 48 + C = 180 - 48
C = 132°
