We need to express this statement into a equation:
First of all. We will walk through the statement step by step into a mathematical language, so:
1. The sum of five and x:
x + 5
2. Twice the sum of five and x:
2(x + 5)
3. Eight less than x:
(x-8)
Finally the whole statement is:
4. <span>Twice the sum of five and x is eight less than x:
</span>
2(x + 5) = (x-8)
2x + 10 = x - 8
x = -18
Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
Answer:
[A] It will take 24 minutes for Joe and Charmaine to meet again at the starting line.
[B] Joe will complete 2 laps
[C] Charmaine will complete 3 laps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor two numbers 12 and 8:
12 = 2×2×3
8 = 2×2×2
Find LCM of 12 and 8:
Lcm of 12 and 8 - 2×2×3×2 = 24
Therefore,
[A] How much time does it take for them to meet again at the starting line?
It will take 24 minutes for Joe and Charmaine to meet again at the starting line.
[B] How many laps does Joe complete
Joe will complete 2 laps
[C] How many laps does Charmaine complete?
Charmaine will complete 3 laps.

So first, this is point slope form. The first step is to distribute.)
Then add 4 to both sides.
Then add 2x and it becomes
