Base or base number
for example 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 or x^2 = x * x
10 years makes up one decade, hope this helps!
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
you take 85 * 9
85 = # of seats
9 = # of buses
then you get 765
next, you take 765 - 693
765 = # of seats
693 = # people who bought tickets for a trip
finally you get 72
72 = # of empty seats
X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age
Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:
-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)
x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)
| basically,
v
x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.
6/2 - 2 = y
3 - 2 = y
1 = y
ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.
