104. I think that is what you are saying
Answer:
Marcia is 47 inches tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve this step by step and try to visualize the situation.
• Carl: 73 inches tall
The second part of the question states that Carl's heigh is twenty-one inches less than two times Marcia's height. Add 73 + 21 to equal 94. Since Carl is 21 inches less that means that Maria is 21 inches more ( so that's why I added instead of subtracting) because we are trying to find Maria's equation.
Let x be Marcia's height
2x = 94
• The question staes that 73 is 21 inches less than two times Marcia's height which means that the equation 2x = 94 applies because 73 + 21 = 94
After simplifying the equation, we can get the answer that Marcia is 47 inches tall.
Answer:
addition property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation 4(x-5) = -12
Expand
4x - 20 = -12
Add 20 to both sides (addition property of equality)
4x-20+20 = -12+20
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
Hence the value of x is 2
The justification for step 2 is addition property of equality
