Answer:

Jane: 37 years old

Anne: 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Jane 12 years ago: 5x

Anne 12 years ago: x

In three years into the future:

Jane: 5x+15

Anne: x+15

CURRENT TIME:

Jane: 5x+12

Anne: x+12

Equation (using 3 years into the future ages): 5x+15=2(x+15)

5x+15=2x+30

(subtract 15 from both sides)

5x=2x+15

3x=15

x=5

Therefore, Jane is 37 years old and Anne is 17 years old.

Solve for zzz. 42=-7(z-3)42=−7(z−3)
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for z we single it out, distribute, use the communicative property, and combine like terms.

42 = -7(z - 3)42 = -7(z - 3)

Distribute

42 = -7z + 21*42 = -7z + 21

42 = -7z + 882 = -7z + 21

-42 to both sides

-7z + 840 = -7z + 21

-21 to both sides

-7z + 819 = -7z

+7z to both sides

819 = 0

<em>Thus, </em>

<em>the given equation is false.</em>

<em>I hope this helps :)</em>

(20 points) please give me motivation to study and study tips or test taking tips for finals. it would be greatly appreciated.
Daniel [21]

Answer: Think about graduating. Think about never having to take the courses again. You're almost at the finish line! It'll be worth it. You've worked hard all year for this. You can do it!

Study tips: I would recommend Quizlet! They have a section that generates study games. It's a lot more fun than normal studying. It's also a good idea to make a goal for yourself. Try to make a challenge of achieving a certain score! By the time you accomplish said score, you'll find that you've learned a lot. Another tip is to make sure you take breaks. If you work too long without giving yourself a break, it will become harder to focus and your brain will become tired. Just don't get too distracted! set yourself an alarm during break times to help you stay on task. If you become frustrated with a certain subject or task, take a break from that task. Use this time as an opportunity to work on another subject. You can begin working on the first subject again once you feel refreshed. A lot of this may sound redundant, but hopefully it will help at least a little bit. Good luck!
