7j+7
Step-by-step explanation:
2j+4j+j+7
combine like terms
7j+7
Sorry I don't really know how to explain it, but you just have to combine terms with the same unit
Since there is two negative signs in the original equation, you need two negative signs in the equivalent one as well.
Because one of the negatives if before the fraction, it doesn't matter if the second negative is on the 13 or on the 12.
The answer is A.
Answer:
13, 14, 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = age of one of the siblings
Since the age of the siblings are consecutive integers, the age of the next sibling would be x + 1 and the age of the third sibling would be x + 2
x +( x +1) + (x +2) = 42
3x + 3 = 42
collect like terms and solve for x
x = 13
The age of the first sibling is 13
The age of the second sibling is x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14
The age of the third sibling is x + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15
The answer is y=22 I think
