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.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adult tickets be x, then the number of student tickets sold would be (x–54).

We now have

x+(x–54)=646

2x=700

x=350

Therefore, 350 adult tickets were sold.

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar. Find the remainder
victus00 [196]

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(h⁴ + h² – 2) ÷ (h + 3).

We could obtain the remainder using the remainder theorem :

That is the remainder obtained when (h⁴ + h² – 2) is divided by (h + 3).

Using the reminder theorem,

Equate h+3 to 0 and obtain the value of h at h+3 = 0

h + 3 = 0 ; h = - 3

Substituting h = - 3 into (h⁴ + h² – 2) to obtain the remainder

h⁴ + h² – 2 = (-3)⁴ + (-3)² - 2 = 81 + 9 - 2 = 88

Hence, remainder is 88

Krystal and Danielle each improved their yards by planting daylilies and ivy. They bought their supplies from the same store. Kr
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

  • $9 and $6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the cost of daylilies = d and ivy = i, then we have below equations:</u>

  • d + 12i = 114
  • 10d + 10i = 150

<u>Simplify the second equation:</u>

  • d + i = 15

<u>Subtract the second equation from the first:</u>

  • d - d + 12i - i = 114 - 15
  • 11i = 99
  • i = 9, ivy costs $9

<u>Now find d:</u>

  • d = 15 - 9 = 6, daylilies cost $6
