You can convert this problem into an equation.
3x + x = 20
When simplified, the problem is 4x = 20
You can easily solve for x, which is 5.

Answer:

Mikhail is 5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent each member with a variable.

X= Gabrille

Y=Mikhail

X+Y=20 (sum of their ages is 20)

X=3y (Gabrille is 3 times Mikhails age)

Substitute 3Y into the first equation (simultaneous equation)

. 3y+y=20

. 4y=20 (divide both sides by 4)

y=5

To check your answer.

X+5=20

X=20-5

X=15

15 is 5 times 3.

Answer:

200 < 225 + 80x < 550

The 200 is the amount the Jenna currently have.

225 + 80x is the amount that Jenna has to pay given x number of hours.

550 is the sum of Jenna's 200 and additional 350 she can get by selling pre-ordered Cds. This is the maximum amount she can pay for the studio rental and sound technicians.

Step-by-step explanation:

225 + 80x < 550

80x < 550 -225

80x < 325

80x / 80 < 325/80

x < 4.06 or 4 hours

225 + 80x → 225 + 80(4) = 225 + 320 = 545

The number of hours for the sound technician will range from 1 hour to 4 hours.

Assuming they will use 6 hours.

225 + 80(6) = 225 + 480 = 705

705 - 550 = 155

Jenna has to raise an additional $155 to pay off the studio rent and 6 hours of sound technicians.
