A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles
b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4
c. a + j = 28
a = j + 4
d. (j + 4) + j = 28
2j + 4 = 28
2j = 28 - 4
2j = 24
j = 24/2
j = 12
a = j + 4
a = 12 + 4
a = 16
e. check..
a + j = 28
16 + 12 = 28
28 = 28 (correct)
solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
james' miles (j) = 12
Answer:
2x+w/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(2*x)+(w/5)
2x +w/5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


8/1 + (x-1)/(x+4)
You need the same common denominator (bottom number) to be able to add together so multiply 8 by (x+4) to both bottom and top
8 (x+4)/(x+4) + (x-1)/(x+4)
Add
8 (x+4)+(x-1)/ (x+4)
Distribute the 8 to (x+4)
8x+32+x-1 / x+4
Simplify
9x+31/x+4
