Frank = F
Sue = S
John = J
F=3*S
F = J+15
S = J-1
If you want to find Frank's age, then his age would be equivalent to John's plus 15 years.
A.-Would not work because Frank is three times Sue's age, not John's (left hand side of the equation).
B.-Notice that the right hand side of the equation is equivalent to Sue's age, which we know is John-1, however it is currently written to be "three times Sue's age minus one" which would give us John's age, plus two more years than his actual age on the left hand side.
C.-Frank's age is equal to John's plus fifteen (right side of the equation) and Frank is equal to Sue's age times 3. But, if Sue is in terms of Johns, then Sue's age is John's minus one. Therefore, Frank's age is equal to three times Sue's age of John minus one, which is the left-hand side of our equation.
Therefore C is the answer. C:
X = -5
The goal of this problem is to solve for x.
To solve x in this problem you need to find a way to get it by itself on the left side, the way to do this is divide -5x by -5.
You then also have to do the same for the right side. This gives you -5.
The price of the stock is below its starting price because the price will decrease before it increases
X=4
First find the solution to (x+1) ft. I chose to guess the answer as 4 and it worked (you’ll have to guess). I then plugged 4 into the other equation 2x. It became 2•4. Solving give the side length of 8 ft. Then you have to check to make sure they both have the same area. To do this just solve the equations.
First rectangle- 4•4= 16 ft area
Second rectangle- 2•8 = 16 ft area
( I’m really sorry if this is confusing)
