The equation that can be used to represent the ages of Sarah and his brother will be 2x - 12 = 16.

<h3>How to solve the equation</h3>

From the question given, Sarah's brother is 12 less than twice her age and Sarah is 16.

Let Sarah's age be represented by x.

Therefore, the equation to represent the situation will be:

= (2 × x) - 12 = 16

2x - 12 = 16

2x = 16 + 12.

2x = 28

x = 28/2 = 14

Sarah is 14 years.

Solve the equation <br> -13/4 -x= 1/2x -1
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

x = 2 or 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-13/4 -x= 1/2x -1

Collect like terms

-13/4+1=1/2x+x

Using LCM

(-13+4)/4=(1+2x²)/2x

9/4=(1+2x²)/2x

Cross multiply

9(2x)=4(1+2x²)

18x=4+8x²

Turn into quadratic and solve

8x²-18x+4

Using formulae method

-b±(√b²-4ac)/2a

Where a=8, b= -18 and c=4

(-(-18)±(√(-18)²-4(8)(4))/2(8)

(18±(√324-128))/16

(18±√196)/16

(18±14)/16

(18+14)/16 or (18-14)/16

32/16 or 4/16

2 or 1/4
