Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Noah = x.  I will write the equation in order of appearance with Noah first.

x + 3x + (3x + 5) + (3x + 12) + (x - 4) + 2(x-4) = 317

Distribute where needed and remove parentheses

x + 3x + 3x + 5 + 3x + 12 + x - 4 + 2x - 8 = 317

Collect like terms

13x + 5 = 317

Move the constant to the right of the equal sign and do the math

13x = 312

Divide both sides by 13
