Rob is 18
Jake is 9

21-15=6
6+3=9
9x2=18

Suppose Rob's age is X and Jake's age Y

Since Rob is two times as old as Jake, X = 2Y

Since Three Years ago the sum of their ages was 21,

X + Y = 21 + 6 This is true because it was three years ago, so they both got older by 3 years

You plug in X to the second equation to fin 2Y + Y = 21 + 6 which is 3Y = 27, so Y = 7 Then, you plug this into the first equation and find that X = 14

So Rob is 14 and Jake is 7

Hope this helps :)

The height of a certain banner is equal to one third of its length. If the banner is 5 ft tall, write the equation that can be u
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

L=3h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let height of a banner be h, then we know that this is \frac{1}{3} of the length L of the banner; so we have

h=\frac{1}{3} L .

Now we can rearrange this equation to solve for the length of the banner given it's height:

L=3h

So there we have it!

If the banner is 5 ft tall, then it's length will be:

L=3*5=15ft
