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:
8n+2 first let’s plug in n which is 1
8(1)+2=10
The answer is 10 but Brian said the expression is equal to 83. He is incorrect because 8 times 1 is 8 and then plus 2 is 10.
I hope it helps.

First one: C. Second One:C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Kate purchased a car for $23,000. It will depreciate by a rate of 12% a year. What is the value of the car in 4 years?
a) $13,935.76
b) $12,874.57
c) $13,792.99
To solve this this is an exponential function. The price started at $23,000 and depreciates at 12% so the equation is f(x) = (23,0000)(1-0.12)^4. When calculated results with 13792.99328 which is C.
A rare coin is currently worth $450. The value of the coin increases 4% each year. Determine the value of the coin after 7 years.
a) $613.98
b) $546.78
c) $592.17
To solve this this is also an exponential function. The price started at $450 and the coin increases 4% each year so the equation is f(x) = (450)(1+0.04)^7. When calculated results with 592.169300656 which is c.
