The answer is 14 - x.

If she is 14 now, and the question is looking for her age x years ago, it is basically just asking you to subtract x from 14.

It also can't be x - 14, because that means Susie's age is x and the question is asking for her age 14 years ago, and it can't be 14x, because that's 14 multiplied by x.

The answer is 14-x because if she 14, to find out x years less than 14, you would have to subtract x from 14 and the equation for that would be 14-x. :)

Simplify the expression by combining like terms if possible. If not possible select already simplified. 4a^2+2a+4a^2-5
vichka [17]
So the expression is: 4 a^{2} + 2a + 4 a^{2} - 5

You can combine like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. That means you can combine the two 4 a^{2}. 4 a^{2} + 4 a^{2} = 8 a^{2} The other terms can't be combined.

Your final answer should be 8 a^{2} +2a-5.

PLEASE ANSWER QUICK One year, the population of a city was 164,000. Several years later it was 182,040. Find the percent increas
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

There was an 11% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find a percent increase is this: (original amount - new amount / original amount) * 100

If you fill in the formula, you get this:

(164,000 - 182,040 / 164,000) * 100

Solve:

(-18,040 / 164,000) * 100 ---> If the number being divided is negative, find the absolute value.

(18,040 / 164,000) * 100 =

0.11 * 100

11%

Explain why 48 divided by x equal 6 is the same as 48-x-x-x-x-x-x
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, they are not the same. For one thing, 48÷x = 6 is an equation.

48-x-x-x-x-x-x is an expression, not an equation.
