make denomenators the same
we have
x+4 and 3
times the fraction with x+4 in denomenator with the fraction 3/3
times the fraction with 3 in denomenator with the fraction x+4
we get

since common denoms, can add them to get


that is simplified
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following variables:
y: hours of sleep
x: age
Each day, a young person should sleep 9 hours
This means that y is 9 added to something
plus 1 4 hour for each year that the person is under 18 years of age.
For each year the person is under 18 years of age, she should sleep 1/4 = 0.25h on top of the 9 hours.
So the equation relating hours of sleep y and age x is:

Answer:
x+1
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) -2(-x-1)-(x+1)
2.) -2(-x-1) = 2x+2
3.) 2x+2-(x+1)
4.) -(x+1) = -x-1
5.) 2x+2-x-1 = x+1
ANSWER: x+1
