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:
a)2x-3y
b)4(9a-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>a)</h3>
we want to expand the following expression:

well to do so we consider distributive property thus distribute:

reduce fraction which yields:

simplify Parentheses:

<h3>b)</h3>
in the expression there's a common factor of 4 therefore factor it out:

3/20, or 0.15 of the shirts each evening
1 - 1/4 = 3/4
(3/4) / 5 = (3/4) / (5/1) = (3/4) x (1/5) = 3/20 = 0.15
