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

Solve to find the answer of blue pills Mr body took: number of blue pills, b, mr mattics give him was 3 more than the number of
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Mr body took 9 blue pills

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pills consumed = 17

Number of blue pills, b = 11

Number of blue pills, b = g + 3

So that,

b = g + 3

11 = g + 3

g = 8

Total number of pills recommended = b + g

                                                            = 11 + 8

                                                            = 19

Total number of pills consumed = 17

Thus,

Number of blue pills consumed = 17 - 8

                                                     = 9

Therefore, Mr body took 9 blue pills.

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

  1. Subtract 3 on both sides: x > -11

Here, the inequality is saying that any number greater than -11 will work as a solution.
