Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.

Answer:
a. Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil because –48.1 °C < 24.1 °C
Step-by-step explanation:
–48.1 °C is lower than 24.1 °C since it lies on the negative side of the number line. Thus, Cottonseed oil freezes at a lower temperature than palm oil
56 + 32 = (8 x 7) + (8 x 4) = 8(7 + 4) (Answer C)
Answer:
The real distance would be 16
Step-by-step explanation:
If the scale is 1/2, that means each distance on the map is half of what the real distance is. So 8 x 2 =16.
