Let me help you with this :)
John = x
Mike = y
x = 4 + 3y (4 more than 3 times)
x + y = 20 (we put the x above into this equation)
4 + 3y + y = 20
4y = 16 (we transfers the 4 on the left side to the right side and subtract it from the 20)
y = 4 (the answer is 4)
we use this for the equation:
x = 4 +3*4
x = 16
John is 16 years old and Mike is 4 years old :)
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
-4(6x+3)= -12(x+10)
<u><em>Let's do the first part:</em></u>
-4(6x+3)
<em>**distribute**</em>
-4 x 6x = -24x; -4 x 3 = -12 ->>> -24x - 12
<u><em>Let's do the second part:</em></u>
-12(x+10)
<em>**distribute**</em>
-12 x x = -12x; -12 x 10 = -120 ->>> -12x -120
-24x -12 = -12x - 120
<em>**Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign**</em>
-24x +12x -12 = -120
-12x - 12 = -120
-12x = 108
x = 108/-12
x=9
Answer:
ok
Step-by-step explanation:
1st step is ask a question.
2nd is get an accurate answer by asking a valid question.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Just use the distributive property.
(4y^2-3)(4y+3)
= 4y^2(4y+3) - 3(4y+3)
= 16y^3 + 12y^2 - 12y - 9
