(2/3) / 3 = 1/x...2/3 to 3 lawns = 1 to x lawns
cross multiply
(2/3)(x) = (3)(1)
2/3x = 3
x = 3 * 3/2
x = 9/2 or 4 1/2 lawns can be cut with a full tank of gas

the combined age of april and laura is 23 years. laura's age is two years more than half of april's age. what is laura's age
Kipish [7]

Laura's age is 9 years.

Solution:

Let x be the age of April.

Laura's age = 2 years more than half of April's age

<u>Convert statement into algebraic expression:</u>

Half of April's age = \frac{x}{2}

2 years more than half of April's age = \frac{x}{2}+2

Combined age of April and Laura = 23

⇒ April's age + Laura's age = 23

$\Rightarrow \ \ x+(\frac{x}{2}+2) =23

$\Rightarrow \ \ x+\frac{x}{2}+2 =23

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x}{1}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2}{1} =23

To add the fractions make the denominators same.

Multiplying 2 on both numerator and denominator of unlike terms, we get

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{x\times2}{1\times2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{2\times2}{1\times2} =23

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+\frac{4}{2} =23

Denominators are same, now add the fractions.

$\Rightarrow \ \ \frac{2x+x+4}{2} =23

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow \ \ 2x+x+4=23\times2

$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=46-4

$\Rightarrow \ \ 3x=42

$\Rightarrow \ \ x=14

Aprils's age = 14 years

Laura's age = \frac{14}{2}+2

                    = 7 + 2

Laura's age = 9

Hence Laura's age is 9 years.

Solve for 6y+12=3y-3
kherson [118]
6y + 12 = 3y - 3

Subtract 3y on both sides

3y + 12 = -3

Subtract 12 on both sides

3y = -15

Divide by 3 on both sides

y = -5
