Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...
200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16
200 - 2x = 16
Now let's solve for x to find "my age"
First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x
-2x = -184
Divide each side by -2 to isolate x
x = -184/-2
x = 92
I'm 92 years old!
Answer with explanation:
3:1 means that person 1's income is three times person 2's income.
E.g.: if person 1 gets 150 per hour, person 2 gets 30 per hour.
1:3 means that person 1's income is one third of person 2's income.
E.g.: if person 1 gets 40 per hour, person 2 gets 120 per hour.
<span>product of a number and 10: 10n
</span><span>Seven less than the product of a number and 10: 10n - 7
so
</span><span>Seven less than the product of a number and 10 is 50:</span>
10n - 7 = 50
----------------------------
if you need to find the number n then
10n - 7 = 50
10n = 57
n = 57/10
n = 5.7
