Answer:
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
5x+25=10
We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.
+5x=+10-25
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+5x=-15
or this is another way
Simplifying
5x = 25 + -10
Combine like terms: 25 + -10 = 15
5x = 15
Solving
5x = 15
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 3
Simplifying
x = 3
We divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x.
x=-3
You are told the ages of Karen and David in terms of Michelle's age.
Let m = Michelle's age.
Michelle's age = m
Karen's age = m + 6
Michelle is two years younger than David, so David is two years older than Michelle.
David's age = m + 2
Add the ages and get 62.
m + m + 6 + m + 2 = 62
3m + 8 = 62
3m = 54
m = 18
Michelle is 18 years old
Karen is 6 years older, so she is 24 years old.
David is 2 years older than Michelle, so he is 20 years old.
The answer would be the first person said 6, -26,102
Well 57+59+61= 177 so the answer is 57
