Question

joy is (4x + 5) years old her brother micheal is (3x - 2) years younger than her sister. then write an expression thet represents Michael's age​

Answer 1

(x +7) years old

Explanation:

Joy= (4x +5) years old

Since Michael is (3x -2) years younger, we need to subtract (3x -2) from Joy's age to find out his age.

Michael

= (4x +5) -(3x -2)

= 4x +5 -3x +2 (expand)

= x +7

Thus, Michael is (x +7) years old.
