The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).

3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>

After x + 2 over 2 minus X+1 over 3x have been combined using the least common denominator of 6x, what is the numerator? ​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

3x²+4x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x+2}{2}-\frac{x+1}{3x} are not like terms. To make them like terms, you have to multiply the first fraction by 3x, and the second by 2.

This makes it \frac{3x(x+2)}{6x}-\frac{2(x+1)}{6x}, which can be expanded to \frac{3x^{2}+6x}{6x}-\frac{2x+2}{6x}.

This can be simplified to \frac{3x^{2} +4x-2}{6x}.

The numerator is therefore 3x²+4x-2.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

$83.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how much he will have to pay by multiplying the price by 0.85, since this will calculate what 85% of the price is (with the 15% discount):

98(0.85)

= 83.3

So, he will have to pay $83.30 for the saw
