Answer:
1/2x-5=13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x= Frankie’s mother’s age
Half his mother’s age= 1/2x
5 less than that=1/2x-5
We know that Frankie is 13 so that equation is equal to Frankie’s age, which is 13.
Hope this helps.
Our equation looks like:
This means that we will need to distribute. This means that we need to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by the number outside of the parenthesis. (<em>Note: you only distribute when variables are involved.)</em>
Simplify:
We cannot simplify any further, so we know that our equation, until we know what x equals, is 
.

Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
First, in this problem, you would assume that there are five numbers to multiply since Dwayne played 5 games.
In the first blank, he could choose any move, and there are three, rock, paper, and scissors. In the first blank, you would put 3. Then, since you already picked one, you can't repeat it, so you would end up with 2 for the second blank. Continuing with the next blanks, the third, fourth, and fifth spaces would be 2 choices because you cannot have the one choice you chose previously. In the end, the blanks would look somewhat like this:
3 2 2 2 2
And you would multiply all the numbers.
3 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
= 6 x 8
= 48
