Answer:

J - Janeta's age  M - mother's age

A) (J-5) = .2 * (M-5)

B) J = (1/3) * M

Subtracting 5 from both sides of B:

B) J -5 = (1/3)M -5

then we substitute the right side of this into the left side of A and we get

(1/3)M -5 = .2 M -1

.333333333333M -5 = .2M -1

.1111111111111111111M = 4

Mother's Age = 36

Janeta's Age = 12

I need help answering this question..​
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 15=7x-6

To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation algebraically. I see that we have like terms, but they are on opposite sides of the equal sign. Let's add 6 to both sides.

21=7x

To isolate x, divide both sides by 7.

x=3
