Answer:
The number is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
12 less than 7 times a number can be express as follows,
let the number = a
7a - 12
According to the question the number 7a - 12 is equals to 32 less than the product of - 3 and the number.
32 less than the product of -3 and the number can be express below.
-3a - 32. Therefore,
7a - 12 = -3a - 32
collect like terms
7a + 3a = - 32 + 12
10a = -20
divide both sides by 10
a = -20/10
a = -2
The number is -2
Answer:
His mom’s age will be 1/% of Benny’s age at that time.
Step-by-step explanation:
14>>100%
1>>(100/14)%
50>>50(100/14)%
50>>25(100/7)%
50>>(2500/7)%
50>>357 1/7%
so in two years Benny will be 14 and his mom will be 50.
