<span>Melvina's age is = x, Bettina's age is = 3x
the equation is
x + 20 = 3x - 20
subtract 3x from both sides
-(3x) + x +20 = 3x - 20 - (3x)
-2x + 20 = -20
subtract 20 from both sides
-2x + 20 - (20) = -20 - (20)
-2x = - 40
divide both sides by -2
(-2x)/-2 = (-40)/-2
x = 20
Melvinas age is 20 and Bettinas age is 60</span>
I did the PEMDAS method (P= parentheses, E= exponents, M= multiplication, D = Division, A= addition, S = subtraction.)
First I did what’s inside the parentheses, (6x2) and got 12.
Then I divided 16 by 22 and received 0.72.
I added 0.72 with 12 and the result was 12.72.
Last step was to subtract 12.72 - 8 and that equals 4.72
Answer: x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 7 from both sides to isolate x
Answer:
A) in Step 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that x+6 and x-2 are factors of the expression, and they must be set equal to 0. The correct step would be x+6=0 and x-2=0. This student used the incorrect signs for the factors.
Ratio = 4:7
The numbers are 4x, 7x
Larger number =63
7x= 63
Divide both sides by 7
x = 63/7
X=9
Smaller number = 4x= 4*9= 36
