Bernard is two years older than his sister Therese and four years younger than his sister

Mathematics

Firstly Bernard = x

A) lets focus on Therese first. Bernard id two years older than her so for Therese’s equation in terms of x it would be x+2. Now for Josephine Bernard is 4 years younger than HER so it would be 4-x.

B) The mother is the PRODUCT of the sisters’ ages so (multiplication)

It would be like this: (x+2)(4-x)= 40 This is all in terms of x.

Solving for the equation (using distributive property) we get:

4x-x+8-2x=40

(Reorganize to group like terms, remember to go in order from the numeral numbers with variables, to variables only then numbers only): 4x-2x-x+8=40 (now combine like terms and simplify): x+8=40 this is his mom’s age in terms of x

C) HERE we can solve for x:

Isolating x to get the answer we move the 8 to the other side of the equation and it becomes a negative 8 so:

x=40-8

x=32

Therefore Bernard is 32 years old.

Hope this helps!

-840=-15(-7x+7) Please help
Tresset [83]

<span>We move all terms to the left:
-840-(-15(-7x+7))=0

</span>We calculate terms in parentheses: -(-15(-7x+7)), so:
-15(-7x+7)
We multiply parentheses
105x-105
Back to the equation:
<span> -(105x-105)
</span>
<span>We get rid of parentheses
-105x+105-840=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-105x-735=0
We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
-105x=735
x=735/-105
x=-7

Mr. Smith goes to the concession stand and buys 2 soft pretzels and 1 cheeseburger for $8.25. Mr. Martin goes to the same conces
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

<em>$4.15</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a cheeseburger be x

Let the cost of a soft pretzels be y

If Mr. Smith goes to the concession stand and buys 2 soft pretzels and 1 cheeseburger for $8.25, this is expressed as;

x + 2y = 8.25 .... 1

Also, if Mr. Martin goes to the same concession stand and buys 1 soft pretzel and 3 cheeseburgers for $13.50, this is expressed as;

3x + y = 13. 50..... 2

The required equations are:

x + 2y = 8.25

3x + y = 13. 50

Find x and y by solving simultaneously:

From 1: x + 2y = 8.25

x = 8.25 - 2y ..... 3

Substitute 3 into 2

3(8.25-2y)+y = 13.50

24.75 - 6y+y = 13.50

24.75 - 5y = 13.50

-5y = 14.50 - 24.75

-5 y = 10.25

y = -10.25/-5

y = 2.05

Since x = 8.25 - 2y

x = 8.25 - 2(2.05)

x = 8.25 - 4.1

x = 4.15

<em>Hence the cost of a cheesburger is $4.15</em>
