-5 = 3/4x - 2
-5 + 2 = 3/4x
-3 = 3/4x
-3 / (3/4) = x
-3 * 4/3 = x
-12/3 = x
-4 = x <==
Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)
x(x-7)=8
x^2-7x-8=0
(x-8)(x+1)=0
so x=8 (and -1 but width can’t be negative)
So your answer is C. 8

Answer:
Brother is 70.5 and sister is 64.5
Step-by-step explanation:
you will need to set up a simple equation and give out variables.
Girls age = 6-x
Brother's age= x
the you will take those 2 and add them and place them equal to 135:
6-x+x=135
6-2x+6=135+6
The 6 cancels out
2x=141
2x/2=141/2
x=70.5
The brother's age would be 70.5 then and the girl's would be 64.5
