Let the present age of Sandy be 'x' .

So, present age of Megan will be = x + 5

Therefore age of Sandy four years ago = x - 4
Age of Megan four years ago = x + 5 - 4 = x + 1


It is given that four years ago Megan was three years less than three times Sandys age.

So, an equation can be formed as follows;

=  > x + 1 = 3(x  - 4) - 3 \\  \\  =  > x  + 1 = 3x - 12 - 3 \\  \\  =  > 1 + 15 = 3x - x \\  \\  =  > 2x = 16 \\  \\  =  > x = 8
Therefore the present age of Sandy is 8 years.

Sandy is currently 8 years old. 

Start by using x for Sandy's current age and x + 5 for Megan's current age. 

Since we know the above, we can find their age's as of 4 years ago as both of those minus 4. So Sandy 4 years ago was x - 4 years old and Megan was x + 1 years old. 

Now we can set up an equation that shows that Megan's age 4 years ago was equal to Sandy's age 4 years ago times 3 minus 3. 

x + 1 = 3(x - 4) - 3
x + 1 = 3x - 12 - 3
x + 1 = 3x - 15
x + 16 = 3x
16 = 2x
8 = x

Which is Sandy's current age.

lianna [129]

Answer:

Never, you will continue to be in debt

Explanation:

the interest per month are 1% of the unpaid amount:

3,000 x 1% = 30 interest per month

the minimum payment is 30 dollars

Therefore, by doing the minimum payment we are just coering the interest generated per month we are not doing any amortization on the principal Hence we cannot repay the debt.

Answer:

d. Overstate, understate, understate, zero
