Let x is Jiri's age
2x is Pamela's age
x + 2x = 33
3x =33
x = 33/3
x =11
Answer: Jiri's age is 11
You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
