Sarah thompson is 12 years old. her mother is 5 years less than four times as old as sophia. how old is mrs. thompson? i know the answer is 43 but how? i will mark the first good answer as brainliest.

Mrs. T = (4 *12) - 5 = 43

4 times Sophia's age, she's 12, is 48, and 5 years less than that is 43.

12 × 4 = 48 - 5 = 43

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b

the range is 19

step-by-step explanation:

the range is biggest number minus the smallest, so in this case it would be

41 - 22 = 19
