What statement and about what figure??
So x is John's age.
We can solve this problem by working backwards.
Since it's 5 times his age, we first do 5x.
And then since it's five less, we move on to 5x - 5
And then we add the John's age is increased by 11: 5x - 5 = x + 11
I hope this helped :)
(It should be the second one you listed)
Answer:
6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
pay 60 = -60
Let d = the number of days
30d - 60 = sister
20d = me
Equation:
30d - 60 = 20d Move 30 to the other side
-30d -30d
-60 = 20d - 30d Combine liked terms
-60 = -10d
-10 -10 Divide
d = 6
