Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. (Parenthesis) Distribute:                                                                               3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                     3x + 2 = 2x + 10
  3. {Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides:                    x + 2 = 10
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides:                      x = 8

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                               3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
  2. (Parenthesis) Subtract/Add:                                                                         3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
  3. Multiply:                                                                                                         18 + 8 = 26
  4. Add:                                                                                                               26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

82

Step-by-step explanation:

Well since everything is already in order from least to greatest:

48, 56, 68, 72, 72, 78, 78, 80, 82, 84, 88, 88, 88, 90, 94, 98, 100

The median is the number in the middle

So 82 is the median

Hope this helps!

30 years ago zoe was 2/3 as old as luke, 18 years ago zoe was 5/6 as old as luke how old are they now
barxatty [35]

Based on the mathematical statements, Zoe is 56 years old and Luke is 66 years old, now

<h3>How to determine how old they are now?</h3>

From the question, we have the following statements that can be used in our computation:

<u>30 years ago</u>

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

<u>18 years ago</u>

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

Let their present ages be represented as

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have the following representations

<u>30 years ago</u>

Zoe was 2/3 as old as Luke

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

<u>18 years ago</u>

Zoe was 5/6 as old as Luke

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

So, we have the following system of equations

x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

Make x the subject in x - 18 = 5/6(y - 18)

x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

Substitute x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16 in x - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

5/6(y - 18) + 16 - 36 = 2/3(y - 36)

Open the brackets

5/6y - 15 + 16 - 36 = 2/3y - 24

Evaluate the like terms

5/6y - 35 = 2/3y - 24

Multiply through by 6

5y - 210 = 4y - 144

Evaluate the like terms

y = 66

Substitute y = 66 in x = 5/6(y - 18) + 16

x = 5/6(66 - 18) + 16

Evaluate

x = 56

Recall that

Zoe = x

Luke = y

So, we have

Zoe = x = 56

Luke = y = 66

Hence, they are 56 and 66 years, now

Solve the equation -3(y-5)=24
ioda
-3(y-5) = 24...distribute through the parenthesis
-3y + 15 = 24....subtract 15 from both sides
-3y = 24 - 15
-3y = 9...divide both sides by -3
y = 9/-3
y = -3
