After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
T= Tina's age
t+2= second child
t+4= third child
36= age of all children
Add the ages of all children equal to 36 years. Add 2 to each age because there is 2 years age difference between each child.
t + (t+2) + (t+4)= 36
combine like terms
3t + 6= 36
subtract 6 from both sides
3t= 30
divide both sides by 3
t= 10 Tina's age
t+2= 12
(10)+2= 12 age of second child
t+4= 14
(10)+4= 14 age of third child
ANSWER: The formula that will calculate Tina's age is t + (t+2) + (t+4)= 36.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Hi
Step-by-step explanation:
Two integers are relatively prime (or coprime) if there is no integer greater than one that divides them both (that is, their greatest common divisor is one). For example, 12 and 13 are relatively prime, but 12 and 14 are not.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 + 30 = 289
-30 -30
a^2 = 259
(square root)
a = approximately 16
