Answer:
the answer is 62!
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply
x + x + 3 + x - 8
3x - 5 = 55
3x = 60, x = 20
Since we put Julie as x, we put Janet at x + 3, and the brother is x - 8 (8 years younger)
Julie is 20
Janet (x + 3) = (20 + 3) = 23
Brother(x - 8) = (20 - 8) = 12
Answer:
43
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2(p - q) + 5(p + q) ← substitute p = 7 and q = - 2 into the expression
= 2(7 - (- 2)) + 5(7 + (- 2))
= 2(7 + 2) + 5(7 - 2)
= 2(9) + 5(5)
= 18 + 25
= 43
