Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30

Todd is 30 now.

_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.

The first thing we should know is the definition of commutative property.
 Commutative property:
 The distributive property of multiplication over addition in elementary algebra is that in which the result of a number multiplied by the sum of two or more addends is equal to the sum of the products of each summand by that number. In algebraic terms we have then:
 4 * ((2 * 0.75) + (3)) = (8 * 0.75) + (4 * 3) = 6 + 12 = 18 $
 answer:
 the total cost of these parts is $ 18

The perimeter of rectangle ABCD is 256 inches. Its length is 3 times as long as its width. Find the area of triangle ABC.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

\large\boxed{A_\triangle==1,536\ in^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

P=2(l+w)

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A=lw

l - lenght

w - width

We have l = 3w and the perimeter P = 256 in. Substitute:

2(3w+w)=256               <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

4w=128               <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

w=32\ in\to l=3(32)=96\ in

Calculate the area of a rectangle:

A=(96)(32)=3,072\ in^2

The triangle ABC is the half of the rectangle. Therefore the area of a triangle ABC is:

A_\triangle=\dfrac{3,072}{2}=1,536\ in^2

Richard Saltwood’s car averages 620 miles on its 20-gallon tank of gas. If Richard runs out of gas and a mechanic comes to his r
grandymaker [24]
Well first you have to divide 620/20 which is 31. So his car goes 31 miles per gallon so you have 2 gallons and .25 of a gallon. So first off 2*31=62 miles then the 1/4 or .25. Multiply the 31 by .25 which is 7.75 now add 62 and 7.75 and you get how far his car can go. 

62+7.75=69.75 miles
