Answer:
The age of each person is:
- Jess is <u>21</u> years old.
- Mac is <u>66</u> years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must make two equations. First, we name Jess and Mac as variables:
j = Jess age.
m = Mac age.
Now we make the equations, the first equation has the information "Jess is 12 years less than half as old as Mac":
1. 
The second equation has the information "The sum of their age is 87":
2. 
Now, we replace the first equation in the second one:
And we operate:
We clear the variable m:
How we know Mac's age is 66 years old, we can identify Jess' age with the second equation:
We replace the value of m:
And clear the variable j:
In the end, Jess's age is 21 years old.
The changed digit is the third to the left of the decimal point, so is in the hundreds place.
The value of 8 hundred is 5 hundred more than the value of 3 hundred. The second number is 500 more than the first.
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
6-3x=5x-10x+8=
move all terms to the left:
6-3x-(5x-10x+8)=0
add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-3x-(-5x+8)+6=0
get rid of parentheses
-3x+5x-8+6=0
add all the numbers together, and all the variables
2x-2=0
move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
2x=2
x=2/2
x=1
