Answer:
Joe is 14.
Martha is 28.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the variables and information from the question to make equations.
If Joe's age is half Martha's:
(1/2)m = j OR 2j = m
If their ages combined is 42:
m + j = 42
We can substitute the equation m=2j into equation m + j = 42, replacing "m".
m + j = 42 Substitute m for 2j
2j + j = 42 Combine like terms, terms with same varables
3j = 42 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate j
j = 14 Joe's age
Since j = 14, we can substitute it into equation m=2j to find "m".
m = 2j Substitute j for 14
m = 2(14) Simplify
m = 28 Martha's age
Therefore Joe is 14 and Martha is 28.
Answer:
x² + 9x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: FOIL
x² + 8x + x + 8
Step 2: Combine like terms
x² + 9x + 8
Well if I did the right calculations... Kim is 24. The sister is age twelve! Hope I helped.
A. K+S=36
B. Well Simple Addition and Subtraction solves this easily. If you Add 12+12 it equals 24. It still needs to be larger so that Kim is twice as old as her little sister. So you Add another 12 which gives you 36. Or you can easily subtract 12 from it and that will also bring you to 24.
