Can someone pls help me with number 5 pls show your work so i can understand thanks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent Aaron's age with x and

Charlene's age with x+8

x+x+8=44

2x+8=44

2x=44-8

2x=36

x=36÷2

x=18

Aaron is 18 years old.

While Charlene is 18+8=26 years old.

Hope this helps!

50-38=12

step-by-step explanation:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
