Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.

"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18

How old is Jim?

Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.

    3a - a = 18
    2a = 18
    a = 9

Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.

    3a
    3(9)
    27

Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.

Please answer this algebra khan academy question?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(0, 34)

Step-by-step explanation:

y-intercept of the line is point at which the line intersects the y-axis. At this point x = 0.

<u>Given</u>

when x = -56, then y = 66

when x = -28, then y = 50

You can see that when x increases by 28, y decreases by 16, so

when x = -28 + 28 = 0, then

y = 50 - 16 = 34.

Hence, y-intercept is at (0, 34)

Suppose that the cost of a paving stone is $2.50, plus $0.15 for every 4 cubic inches of concrete.
olganol [36]

Answer:

6 different sized paving stones,$16

Complete question:

What if the 360 cubic-inch paving stones are 4 inches thick and any whole number length and width are possible? How many different paving stones could be made? Suppose that the cost of having stone is $2.50, plus $0.15 for every 4 cubic inches of concrete how much would each paving stone cost?

Step-by-step explanation:

V= B x h

B= V / h=> 360 / 4  

B= 90 sq inch

Considering the factors of 90: 1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,30,45,90

Now, make table with base height and volume for each pair of factors. (see figure in the attachment)

We'll have 6 different sized paving stones.

As each stone has a vol of 360 inches³. Diving by 4 in order to find how many 4 inch³ per stone

Concrete=$0.15 x (360/4) => $0.15 x 90

Concrete= $13.5

The cost of the stone plus the concrete will be:

cost= $2.50 + concrete

cost= $2.50 + $13.5

cost=$16
