5 0

Answer:

1) James brother is 10-x years old

2) James was 3 years ago x-3 years old

3) James brother was 3 years ago 7-x years old

4) 3(x-3)=7-x

5) James is 4 years old, his brother is 6 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3) 10 - x - 3 = 7 - x

5) 3* James age 3 years ago = James brothers age 3 years ago

<=> 3*(x-3) = 7-x

<=> 3x - 9 = 7 - x

<=> 4x = 16

<=> x = 4

What the solution 2(4+2x)≥5x+5
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

x ≤ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(4+2x) ≥ 5x+5      (by PEDMAS, expand parentheses first)

4(2) + 2x(2) ≥ 5x + 5

8 + 4x ≥ 5x + 5   (subtract 8 from each side)

4x ≥ 5x + 5  - 8

4x ≥ 5x - 3    (subtract 5x from both sides)

4x -5x ≥ - 3

-x  ≥ - 3  (multiply both sides by -1, remember to flip the inequality when multiplying both sides by a negative number)

x ≤ 3

⚠WILL GET BRAINLEST...THE QUESTION IS AT THE BOTTOM ⚠How many solutions does have? O A. Two solutions B. No solutions C. Infinit
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

D one solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's linear. It is going to have at most 1 solution

8 + x/6 = x/6 - 4 + 5x/12                  Subtract x/6 from both sides

8 = -4 + 5x/12                                   Add 4 to both sides

8+4 = 5x / 12                                    Combine

12 = 5x / 12                                      Multiply both sides by 12

12 * 12 = 5x * 12 / 12                         Cancel

144 = 5x                                            Divide by 5

144/5 = 5x/5

28.8 = x
