Answer:

The equation is 3x + 24 = 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Zach's age = x

If Zach added 8 to his age and multiplied this sum by 3.

Zach = 3(x + 8)

= 3x + 24

James = 6x

Zach's age = James's age

3x + 24 = 6x

Collect like terms

24 = 6x - 3x

24 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x = 24/3

= 8

x = 8

Check

Zach = 3(x + 8)

= 3(8+8)

= 3(16)

= 48 years

James = 6x

= 6(8)

= 48 years

The equation is 3x + 24 = 6x

Question 1:

Multiply both sides of the proportion by 35.

You get.

7(x-1) = 4x+2

7x-7 = 4x+2

Now, add both sides by 7 and subtract both sides by 4x

3x = 9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Question 2:

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{x+1}{x+3} by 3.

We want to multiply it by 3 so that the +1 and +3 become +3 and +9. +3 and +9 have a difference of 6, just like 15 and 21, which is what we want.

\frac{3x+3}{3x+9} = \frac{15}{21}

Set the numerator equal to the numerator and the denominator equal to the denominator.

3x+3 = 15

3x+9 = 21

If you solve both of these, you get x=4 for both.

That's your answer.

Hope this helps! :)
