-8x - 60 = -164
Add 60 to both sides, because whatever you do on one side, you have to do it to the other side
-8x = -104
Divide -8 to both sides
x = 13
Answer:
The man is 27 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can create a system of equations.
Let x = the age of the man
Let y = the age of his son
You can create the following equations based on what was given in the problem:
1. x = y + 18
2. (x - 3) = 4(y - 3)
You can simplify the second equation:
x - 3 = 4y - 12
x = 4y - 9
Then, solve the system of equations:
x = y + 18
-
x = 4y - 9
____________
0 = -3x + 27
The son's age is 9, therefore the father is 27 years old.
Answer:
C-----> x<-7
Step-by-step explanation:
first u do this to turn x in positive and consequently change the > to an <:
(-1).(-4x)>28.(-1)
so:
4x<-28
x<-7
# when multiplying each side by (-1), you have to change the symbol (>) to an (<), or (<) to an (>)
