Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you need to do is develop the equation. Less in this case means subtract.
On the left side you have
9 times a number which is 9*x
5 less than 9 times a number means 9x - 5
Now you shift to the right
x = 3
x + 19 What you get is
9x - 5 = x + 19 Subtract x from both sides of the equation
9x - x - 5 = 19 Combine both x terms on the left
8x - 5 = 19 Add 5 to both sides.
8x - 5 + 5 = 19 + 5 Combine terms
8x = 24 Divide by 8
x = 24/8
x = 3

Answer:
4k - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Lucy is k years old so we know k is an important part of this problem.
Sister 1 is 3 years younger, so she is k - 3 years old.
Sister 2 is 5 years less than twice Lucy's age therefore, she is 2k (twice Lucy's age) - 5 years old.
Now we have: k + (k - 3) + (2k - 5)
We can simplify like terms with the k's and get 4k. then we add (-3) and (-5) to get 4k - 8.
Hope this helps!
