Answer:

A) 5 and B) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 5x-12=13

+12 +12 (add 12 to the 13)

5x=25

(then divide 25 by 5 which is 5 so the answer is 5)

B) 8(x+3)=64 (first use distributive property)

8x+24=64

-24 -24 (then subtract 24 to 64 which is 40)

8x=40

(then divide 40 by 8 which is 5 so that is it!)

I believe this is correct, I hope this helps :D

Now, Meg ran again in June. In June, she did 10 seconds faster. So it makes since that we need to subtract 10 from her April time, "y". Therefore, the expression is simply "y - 10".

\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
7.5&900\\
