The rule to use is PEMDAS. (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction) When there's a number in front of one parenthesis, you distribute that number to the terms on the inside based on PEMDAS. What should also be notified is the exponent rules for multiplication and division. Then combine like terms. They have to have the same base of multiplying or dividing. Combining like terms need to have the same exponent, or whole numbers in groups.
Answer:
- Annie- 17 hours, Brian- 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours Annie travelled be a, and same of Brian be b
<u>Then we have</u>
<u>Substituting a in the first equation</u>
- 5b + 2 + b = 20
- 6b = 20 - 2
- 6b = 18
- b = 3
<u>Then finding a</u>
<u>So the answer is:</u>
- Annie- 17 hours, Brian- 3 hours

Answer:
The number is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number
Now let's break it down!
Sum of a number and 3 gives;
x + 3
This is then doubled to give;
2* (x + 3)
This is added to the product of 6 and the original number to give 46
Product of 6 and the original number = 6 * x
Now 2* (x + 3) is added to 6 * x to give 46
2* (x + 3) + 6*x = 46
2x + 6 + 6x = 46
8x + 6 = 46
Subtract 6 from both sides
8x + 6 - 6 = 46 - 6
8x = 40
x = 40/8
x = 5
Hence, the number is 5
