Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
The answer is C. The numerator 7x+14 can be factored as 7(x+2). The denominator 2x^2+2x-6 can be factored as (x+2)(2x-3). The greatest common divisor of 7(x+2) and (x+2)(2x-3) is obviously x+2, which is contained in both of the two expressions.
5d + 2(2 - d) = 3(1 + d) + 1
5d + 2(2) - 2(d) = 3(1) + 3(d) + 1
5d + 4 - 2d = 3 + 3d + 1
5d - 2d + 4 = 3d + 3 + 1
3d + 4 = 3d + 4
<u>-3d -3d </u>
4 = 4
d = 0
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
18×(3/6) = 918×(1/6) = 318×(2/6) = 6
