Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
The simplified form of the expression is given as 83x/56 -(97/105)
<h3>Finding the value of unknown variables</h3>
Alphabets are usually represented as unknown variables in a equation or expression.
Given the following expression shown below
6/7 x -2/3 + 3/5 + 5/8 x -6/7
Collect the like terms to have;
6/7 x+ 5/8 x -2/3 + 3/5 -6/7
Simplify
48x+35x/56 - (70-63 + 90)/105
The final expression will be given as;
83x/56 -(97/105)
Hence the simplified form of the expression is given as 83x/56 -(97/105)

Answer:
so 1/3 must be subtracted from the sum of 1/4 and 1/6 to have an average of 1/12 of all the two fractions.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the fraction be x
(1/4 + 1/6)-x = 1/12
or, 10/24 - x = 1/12
or, 5/12-1/12 = x
so, x = 4/12 = 1/3
