Write and solve an equation to solve the problem. Lisa is 4 centimeters taller than her friend Ian. Ian is 8 centimeters taller

than Jim. Every month, their heights increase by 2 centimeters. In 4 months, the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height. How tall is Ian now? Let h be Ian's height today in centimeters.

Let the actual heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim be L, I and J.

i) "Lisa is 4 centimeters taller than her friend Ian." means: L=4+I

ii) "Ian is 8 centimeters taller than Jim." means: I=8+J, thus J=I-8

so the heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim are  4+I, I and I-8, respectively.



Since their heights increase by 2 cm, in 4 months, their heights increase      2 cm*4 = 8 cm.

Thus, after 4 months the heights of Lisa, Ian and Jim become:

4+I +8, I+8 and I-8+8 that is  I + 12, I+8, I.


In 4 months, "
the sum of Ian's and Jim's heights will be 140 centimeters more than Lisa's height. " mean:

(I+8)+I=140+(I+12)

2I+8=152+I

I=152-8=144


This solution made use of writing all the ages in terms of Ians current age.

I have 3 children. Their ages add up to 21, and when multiplied they equal 75. How old are they?
olganol [36]
So represent the ages as x y and z with each being numbers

x+y+z=21
x times y times z=75
this is really tough for elementary school

one way is to find the factors of 75 or the numbers that add up to 75 and trial and error
use whole numbers becuase this is the world of math so


75=1 times 3 times 5 times 5
possible ages are
3,5,5
1,5,15
1,3,25
add them up

3+5+5=13
1+5+15=21 check
1+3+25=29


their ages are 1, 5 and 15
