Sarah is twice as old as her youngest brother if the difference between their ages is 15 years how old is her youngest brother

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: s=sarah age
b=brother age
s= 2 times b
s=2b

if difference beteeen ages is 15
sarah is older so
s-b=15

we now have
s=2b
s-b=15

since s=2b
sub 2b for s in othe equaiton
2b-b=15
b=15
wow, that's easy


brother is 15 years old


Answer 2
Answer: 2x - x = 15
x = 15 yr, age of the youngest brother

Answer:

1st, 2nd and 6th options

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2)/(3) - x + (1)/(6) = 6x ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )

4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ← option 1 will have the same solution set

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Adding the 2 fractions on the left side gives

(4)/(6) +(1)/(6) - x = 6x , that is

(5)/(6) - x = 6x ← option 2 will have the same solution set

------------------------------------------------------------------------

From

4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ( add 6x to both sides )

5 = 42x ← option 6 will have the same solution set

You fill a container 3/4 full of water. The amount of water now in the container is 6 quarts. How much can the container hold?a. 12 qt
b. 8 qt
c. 6 qt
d. 14 qt

Answers

To solve this, you need to use cross multiplication. The first fraction, is 3/4 and the second is 6/x, with x meaning how much the container can hold. Multiply 3x(x) and 4x6 equating to 3x=24. From here, use algebra to solve for x, by dividing both sides by three.
Your final answer will be B) 8 qts

Answer:

8 qt

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 3x(x) and 4x6 equating to 3x=24 and then algebra to solve for x, by dividing both sides by three.

Simplify 8(7x – 1) + 4(x + 5).

Answers

Its 60x + 12. Just took the quiz.

8(7x-1)+4(x+5)

multiply; 8  x  7=

56x  +  -1  +  4x  +5

reorder the terms;

-1  +  5  +  56x  +  4x

Combine like terms; -1  +  5  =  4

4  +  56x  +  4x

Combine like terms again; 56x  +  4x  =  60x

4  +  60x
