x + 4 = 15
- 4 -4
x = 11
You would subtract 4 because you need to isolate the x to get the value of x. You would subtract it to both sides because whatever you do on one side, you have to do it to the other side.
Answer is D:
e + 5 = 3e - 11
2e = 16
e = 8
Ella is 8 years old
Jamie is 8+5 = 13 years old
Answer:
X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
f(1)= -1^2+4(1)+12=15
f(2)= -2^2+4(2)+12=16
f(3)= -3^2+4(3)+12=15
f(4)= -4^2+4(4)+12=12
f(5)= -5^2+4(5)+12=7
g(1)=1+2=3
g(2)=2+2=4
g(3)=3+2=5
g(4)=4+2=6
g(5)=5+2=7
so g(5)=f(5)= X=5
Let x = Wally's age now
Then, 3x = Jose's age now
Wally's age 5 years from now = x+5
Jose's age 5 years from now = 3x+5
(x+5) + (3x+5) = 42
4x + 10 = 42
4x = 32 x = 8
Wally is 8 years old and Jose is 24.
