S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2
check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5
7 = 7 correct✅
3 (x+7)
multiply 3 to both x and 7
3x+21
36j + j = 37j
Explanation.
You could translate this sum into a normal sebtence: I have 36 apples and add 1 apple more.
The sum will then be 36 apples + apple = 37 apples.
Replacing the word (in this explanation 'apple') by a letter learns us 36a + a = 37a
Hence 36j + j = 37j
Answer:
t = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
3 months ------ 4500
6 months ------ x
3/6 = 4500/x
cross multiplation:
3x =27000
x = 9000,or we should have just doubled the wages, since the time doubled
3 months ------ 4500
5 months ------ y
3/5 = 4500/y
3y = 22500
y = 7500
3 months ------- 4500
t months -------- 19500
3/t = 4500/19500 = 3/13
3t = 39
t = 13
