Alright, let's answer this -

Half of 48 is 24... 

Half of 24 is 12...

12 three times is 36...

36 + 12 is equal to 48. =)

H = Harvey
j = Jane

Harvey is 3 times as old as Jane = 3 times j

<span>The sum of their ages is 48 years.

sum = addition
 
The keyword is means use a equal sign so..

h + j = 48

h = 3 times j

3j + j = 48
4j = 48
4j / 4 = 48 /4 
j = 12

j = 12

Now lets find for Harvey. Harvey = 3 times j

Harvey = 3j = 3 times 12 = 36

Jane = 12
Harvey = 36

A number multiplied by -8, subtracted from the sum of 14 and five times the number
Charra [1.4K]

Let us suppose the number is x. Now we try to make an algebraic expression going step by step.

Step 1:

Five times the number means 5 multiplied by x.

So it becomes 5x.

Step 2:

Sum of 14 and five times the number means 5x+14.

Step 3:

Number multiplied by -8 means -8x.

Step 4:

Subtract the expression in step (3) from expression in step (2)

5x+14-(-8x)

Now we can simplify it further,

5x+14+8x

Combining like terms,

13x+14

Answer: The final expression becomes 13x+14.
