Answer:

Beth is five years old.

Step-by-step:

Beth + Julio + Gerald + Debra = 38

B + (Beth - 2) + (2 x Beth) + (2 x Gerald) = 38

Since we know that Gerald is twice as old as Beth and Debra is twice as old as Gerald. That makes Debra four times older than Beth.

Beth + (Beth - 2) + (2 x Beth) + (4 x Beth) = 38

B +  (B -2) + (2B) + (4B) = 38

Simplfy the like terms.

8B - 2 = 38

Add 2 on both sides.

8B = 38 + 2

8B = 40

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate the variable.

8/8 B = 40/8

B = 5

Find (-21)+(-13)+20.
Fed [463]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

-21+-13+20=14

This is true because when subtracting negatives by negatives you pretty much add them and then when you add a positive to a negative you are technically removing the negative by the amount you are adding.

In short its kind of like using inverse operation in a way.

Hope this helps and have a nice day

Also may I please have a brainliest!!!

Please help me ! Reduced to lowest terms
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7) 2ab + 4ac = 2*a*b + 2 *2 *a*c

                     = 2a(b + 2c)

\dfrac{2ab^{2}c}{2ab+4ac}=\dfrac{2*a* b^{2}*c}{2a(b+2c)}\\\\\\\text{2a in the denominator and numerator get cancelled}\\\\ = \dfrac{b^{2}c}{b+2c}

8) ac - a²c² = c( a - a²c)

bc - abc     = c(b - ab)

\dfrac{ac - a^{2}c^{2}}{bc-abc^{2}}=\dfrac{c(a-a^{2}c)}{c(b-ab)}\\\\

               =\dfrac{a-a^{2}c}{b-abc}

9) b²+ 4b - 5 = b² + 5b - 1b - 5

                    = b(b + 5) - 1(b + 5)

                    = (b +5)(b - 1)

b² + 8b  + 15 = b² + 5b + 3b + 15

                    = b(b + 5) + 3(b + 5)

                    = (b + 5 )(b + 3)

\dfrac{b^{2}+4b-5}{b^{2}+8b+15}=\dfrac{(b+5)(b-1)}{(b+5)(b+3)}\\\\\\

                     =\dfrac{b-1}{b+3}
