5 less than (-5) of 1/4 of my age (age/4) is 12 (=12)
-5+a/4=12
add 5 to both sides
a/4=17
times 4 both isdes
a=68
your age is 68

Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve both equations:
1) 9x = 5x + 4
Simplifying
9x = 5x + 4
Reorder the terms:
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving
9x = 4 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
9x + -5x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
4x = 4 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
4x = 4 + 0
4x = 4
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 1
Simplifying
x = 1
2) 14x = 4
14x = 4 (divide both sides by 14 to get x)
14x/14 = 4/14
x = 0.285714285714
As you can see, the value of x in the second equations is less than one, therefore making these algebraic equations not equivalent.
