if thrice my age 6 years ago be subtracted from twice my present age the result is present age then my present age is what
1 answer:
Answer:
9 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age = x
Age 6 years ago = x - 6
Thrice my age 6 years ago = 3*(x -6) =3x - 3*6 = 3x - 18
Twice my present age = 2 *x = 2x
Thrice my age 6 years ago be subtracted from
twice my present age = 2x - (3x - 18)
2x - (3x - 18) = x
2x - 3x + 18 = x
-x + 18 = x {Add x to both sides}
18 = x + x
18 = 2x {Divide both sides by 2}
18/2 = x
x = 9 years

Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Factors of 9: 1; 3; 9
Factors of 36: 1; 2; 3; 4; 6; 9; 12; 18; 36
GCF(9; 36) = 9
Add the like terms:
8x2+x2=9x2
-9y2-3y2=-12y2
-4x-7x=-11x
Combine each term:
9x2-12y2-11x
