Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5(5−7x)=8−(4x+6)
I do not like working with fractions so I will multiply by 2 on each side
2*0.5(5−7x)=2*8−2(4x+6)
5 -7x = 16 -2( 4x+6)
Distribute
5-7x = 16 -8x -12
Combine like terms
5-7x =4-8x
Add 8x to each side
5 -7x+8x = 4-8x+8x
5+x = 4
Subtract 5 from each side
5-5+x = 4-5
x =-1
Answer:
b. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not 100% sure if this is the answer but here was my thinking process:
1/4 of 24 is 6, and 6 + 3 is 9, so the brothers age is probably 9, and then 24-9 is 15, and the difference between 15 and 9 is 6. Once again I don't know if this is right or not, but either way I hope this helps!
