Answer:

Her current age is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age: x

"In 10 years, a child’s age will be 6 years less than triple her current age."

In 10 years: x + 10

6 years less than triple: 3x - 6

x + 10 = 3x - 6

solve.

16 = 2x

x = 8

You are baking cookies for your class. There are 23 total students in your class and you have baked 12 cookies. Write and solve

KonstantinChe [14]

(x cookies) / (23 students - (12/2) students) = 2 cookies per student
[x / (23 - 6)] cookies per student = 2 cookies per student
23 students * (2 cookies per students) - 12 cookies = x cookies
The "students" unit cancels
46 cookies - 12 cookies = x cookies
x cookies = 34 cookies
