6 - x = 2x
6 = 2x + x
6 = 3x

x = 2
I believe take away means subtraction??
I^22 = i^(20 + 2) = i^20 x i^2 = (i^4)^(5) x (i)^2 = 1 x -1 = -1
I got 16.8 , but she’ll need roughly 17 gallons of paint :)
how i did it :
1. so you know she’ll need 4/5 per book case, and there are 16 bookcases.
2. So you do 16 x 5, then you get 84
3. and you divide 84 by 5. and you’ll get 16.8, that’s how many gallons of paint she needs
Answer: B: (y + z = 6) × -5
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multiply 'y' by -5 it turns into -5y. Therefore when you add -5y and 5y together, you get 0y which is what you want when eliminating the y-term.
Age of Jen is 13.6 years old
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the age of Jack and "y" be the age of Jen
Given that This Christmas, your brother Jack will be 2 years from being twice as old as your sister Jen
The above sentence can be written mathematically as:
Jack age + 2 = twice of age of Jen

The sum of Jacks age and three times Jen's age is 66
Jack age + three times Jen age = 66
x + 3y = 66 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
2y - 2 + 3y = 66
5y - 2 = 66
5y = 68
<h3>y = 13.6</h3>
Thus age of Jen is 13.6 years old
