X = Heather's age NOW
x - 2 = her age 2 years ago
x - 3 = her age 3 years ago

\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+\frac{1}{3}(x-3)=20

The Least Common Multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.  Multiply both sides by 6.

6\cdot\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+6\cdot\frac{1}{3}=6\cdot20 \\3(x-2)+2(x-3)=120 \\ 3x-6+2x-6=120 \\ 5x-12=120 \\ 5x=132 \\ x=\frac{132}{5}=26.4

15 less than a number tripled is equivalent to the difference of the same number and 12
Nitella [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number

3x - 15 = (x - 12)×-4 or (12-x)×-4

3x - 15 = -4x + 48 or -48 + 4x

7x = 63, x = 9 or
