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.
C)17
you put the number in order from little to big and the one in the middle is your answer
Answer:
5. (-2,-1) 6. (1,2) 7.(12,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
B because 2 and 1/3 is 7/3 as an improper fraction times 4 is 28/3 and as a mixed number it is 9 and 1/3
If he uses 1 quarter, he has 40 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways, by using 2 dimes andall four nickels, or all 3 dimes snd 2 nickels.That's 2 ways.
If he uses both quarters, he has 15 cent left to make.He can do that in two ways by using 1 dime and 1 nickel,or no dimes and 3 nickels.That's 2 more ways. So there are four ways to make 65 cents.
