Set up a system of equations:

y + 4 = 5(x + 4)
y = 9x

Where 'y' represents the mother's age and 'x' represents the daughter's age.

Plug in 9x for 'y' in the first equation:

y + 4 = 5(x + 4)

9x + 4 = 5(x + 4)

Distribute 5 into the parenthesis:

9x + 4 = 5x + 20

Subtract 5x to both sides:

4x + 4 = 20

Subtract 4 to both sides:

4x = 16

Divide 4 to both sides:

x = 4

Plug this into any of the two equations to find 'y':

y = 9x

y = 9(4)

Multiply:

y = 36

So at the present, the daughter is 4 years old and the mother is 36 years old.

Distribute (2m-5m)(-5)
Reika [66]

First Method (Distributive Property)

(2m - 5m) (-5)

Rearrange the equation to make it easier.

(-5) (2m - 5m)

In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).

-10m + 25m

15m

Second Method

(2m - 5m) (-5)

Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.

(-3m) (-5)

Multiply.

15m

15m is your answer. I hope this helps!

Vlada [557]

Answer:

b = 3.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a rectangle, A = 14. sq cm

The length of one side, l = 4 cm

We need to find the length of another side. The formula for the area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

So,

14=4b\\\\b=\dfrac{14}{4}\\\\b=3.5\ cm

So, the length of the other side is equal to 3.5 cm.
