Answer:

Sheri's age = 10

Terry's age = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Sheri’s age in 20 years time will be the same as Terry’s age is now. Ten years from now.

Let T be the Terry's age

And S be the Sheri's age

S+20= T

Ten years from now, Terry’s age will be twice Sheri’s age

T+10= 2(S+10)

T+10= 2S+20

Subtract 10 from both sides

T= 2S+10

Now we replace T by 2S+10 in the first equation

S+20= T

S+20= 2S+10

Subtract S from both sides

20=S+10

Subtract 10 from both sides

S= 10

T= 2S+10

T= 2(10)+10=30

Sheri's age = 10

Terry's age = 30

       24 + 10p

Step 1: Distribute the 2 to the 12 to get 24.
Step 2: Distribute the 2 to the 5p to get 10p.

3B: -7(-8y+7)
       56y - 49


Step 1: Distribute the -7 to the -8y to get 56y.
Step 2: Distribute the -7 to the 7 to get -49.

4B: 10(2+7c)
        20 + 70c


Step 1: Distribute the 10 to the 2 to get 20. 
Step 2: Distribute the 10 to the 7c to get 70c.

5B: -8(7+11k)
       -56 - 88k


Step 1: Distribute the -8 to the 7 to get -56.
Step 2: Distribute the -8 to the 11k to get -88k.

6B: -(3-7u)
       -1(3-7u)
       -3 + 7u


Step 1: Place a 1 after the negative symbol to symbolize -1.
Step 2: Distribute the -1 to the three to get -3.
Step 3: Distribute the -1 to the -7u to get 7u.


7B: -6(5p + s)
       -30p - 6s
