Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.

This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:

72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
  9 ÷ 3 = 3

Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3    OR 2³ x 3²

3 ages.

eldest      = 3³ = 9
middle     = 2² = 4
youngest  = 2¹ = 2

2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

a. Sage and Tom have the same number of talk minutes left on their cell phone plans.

b. y = x - 7

Explanation:

Sage talked for 7 minutes with her dad.

Tom talked for 4 minutes with a friend and 3 more minutes with his mom which means he spoke for :

= 4 + 3

= 7 minutes

They both spoke for 7 minutes and therefore have the same amount of time left.

Algebraic expression:

Assuming the time Tom started with is denoted by x and the time he is left with is denoted by y.

The expression is:

y = x - 7
