Answer:
x < 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide by 2 on both sides to find x
2x/2 < 15/2
x <15/2
x<7.5
1. 208/x = 100/130
2. multiply both sides by x
3. 208 = 0.76923x
4. divide both sides by 0.76923
5. x = 270.4
Answer:

Answer:
Gina is 12 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will have to write these statements mathematically and then solve.
Let Gina's age be x, let Gina's brother's age be y and let Gina's sister's age be z.
The second statement"Gina's older sister is twice Gina's age" can be mathematically written as: z =2 x ---------------------------(1)
The next statement "Gina's brother is half Gina's age" can be mathematically written as y =
---------------------------------------(2)
Then the next statement "the sum of their ages is 42" can be mathematically written as: x + y + z = 42 ----------------------------(3)
We can now proceed to solve;
Substitute equation (1) and equation(2) into equation (3)
x + y + z = 42
x +
+ 2x = 42
Multiply through by 2
2x + x + 4x = 84
7x = 84
Divide both-side of the equation by 7
= 
x = 12
Therefore, Gina is 12 years old
