Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick
Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M
The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48
Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:
H + M = 48
3M + M = 48
4M = 48
M = 12
Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.
Answer:
The answer is 50%.
Step-by-step explanation:
I did the question on IXL, and got it right.
What two cars, I don’t see anything
Solve for x. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, multiply 3 to both sides
6(3) = ((x + 2)/3)(3)
18 = x + 2
Finally, isolate the x. Subtract 2 from both sides
18 (-2) = x + 2 (-2)
x = 18 - 2
x = 16
16 is your answer for x
hope this helps
