Answer:

Betty is 27. Her son is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use b to represent Betty's age. We will use s to represent her son's age.

This year:

b = 3s

In 12 years' time:

b + 12 = 2(s + 12) - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 24 - 3

b + 12 = 2s + 21

b = 2s + 9

We know that b = 3s, so we can substitute this value into our equation.

3s = 2s + 9

s = 9

b = 3 x 9

b = 27

7n-(4n-3) combining like terms with negative coefficient and distribution
sladkih [1.3K]

\huge\text{Hey there!}

\huge\textbf{Equation/Question:}

\mathbf{7n - (4n - 3)}

\huge\textbf{Convert equation/question to:}

\mathbf{= 7n - 1(4n - 3)}

\huge\textbf{Solving the equation/question:}

\mathbf{= 7n - 1(4n) - 1(-3)}

\mathbf{= 7n - 4n + 3}

\huge\textbf{Combine the like terms:}

\mathbf{= (7n - 4n) + 3}

\mathbf{= 7n - 4n + 3}

\mathbf{= 3n + 3}

\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}

\huge\boxed{\frak{3n + 3}}\huge\checkmark

\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
