Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.
Answer: The Answer is 7, Hope this helps! :)
Step-by-step explanation: We know that 6 and 12 are related, 6 times 2 is 12 so if you do the same for 4 and you multiply 4 by 2 you get 8 for the blank side, then subtract 1 from 8 to get 7. Same for the bigger triangle, 6 times 2 is 12 subtracted by 1 is 11.
So final answer is 7 for X!
the solution is in the above picture.
An algebraic expression is a phrase in mathematics that consists of numbers such as 1,2,3 and the like, variables which are represented with letters and operations like addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. It is usually used to represent a certain situation which would relate the variables involved. To write the algebraic expression for the problem statement above, we do as follows:
Let x = number of consoles to be bought
y = number of games to be bought
z = number of controllers to bebought
C = total cost of all
The total cost would be equal to the sum of the price multiplied by the number of consoles, games and controllers bought. We write the algebraic expression as follows,
C = 299x + 59.99y + 29.99z
