Joe = x
Dennis = 3x

Joe + Dennis = 84

or in other words

x + 3x = 84

4x = 84

x = 84 / 4

x = 21

And if we remember that Joe was x and Dennis was 3x, you can just substitute x to find out how much they paid.

1(21) = 21 = Joe paid $21

3(21) = 63 = Dennis paid $63.

In the car lot, 4/12 of the cars are white and 3/12 of the cars are blue. What fraction of the cars in the lot are either white
anyanavicka [17]
7/12. This is because you have to add fractions. Basically you do 4+3 to find 7 and place it over 12.
