Steve is 5 times as old as Janis. In 12 years, he will be twice as old as she will be then. How old are they now?

1 answer:

6 0

Write this story as equations:

s = 5j
(s+12) = 2*(j+12)

Then solve:

5j+12 = 2j + 24 => 3j = 12 => j=4, s=5*4=20

Steve is 20, Janis is 4
In 12 years they will be 32 and 16

Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 2(x − 1) greater than or equal to −12?

maxonik [38]

First you need to simplify the left side of the equation to get $2x-2 \geq -12$
Then you add by two on both sides to get $2x \geq -10$
Finally you divide by 2 on both sides to get $x \geq -5$
