Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate where one is in the Denometer, so you would want to divide the bottom by 10.
6x−12+2x=3+8x−15
Simplify:
6x+−12+2x=3+8x+−15
(6x+2x)+(−12)=(8x)+(3+−15)(Combine Like Terms)
8x+−12=8x+−12
8x−12=8x−12
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x−12−8x=8x−12−8x
−12=−12
Add 12 to both sides.
−12+12=−12+12
0=0
The real numbers are the only solution we can have.
Let
R = Ralph's age
S = Sara's age
First statement is translated as:
S = 3R
Second statement is translated as:
S + 4 = 2(R + 4)
Use the first equation to be substituted into the second one in terms of R which is the one we are actually going to solve for Ralph's age.
Since S = 3R, then
3R + 4 = 2(R + 4)
3R + 4 = 2R + 8
3R - 2R = 8 - 4
R = 4 years old
