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 = \frac{x}{2} ---------------------------------------(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 +  \frac{x}{2} + 2x = 42

Multiply through by 2

2x + x + 4x = 84

7x = 84

Divide both-side of the equation by 7

\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{84}{7}

x = 12

Therefore, Gina is 12 years old

Kyle divided his stamps
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Each page has 6 stamps. There are 3 pages. This is a simple multiplication problem, and so you do 3x6 to find the total number of stamps Kyle has. Thus, 3 times 6 is 18.

visual:

Page One: 6 stamps

Page Two: 6 stamps

Page Three: 6 stamps

6 + 6 + 6 = 18 (or just do 6x3)

- (4x - 15) \geqslant  - 9(3 + x) \\  - 4x + 15 \geqslant  - 27 - 9x \\  - 4x + 9x \geqslant  - 27 - 15 \\ 5x \geqslant  - 42 \\ x \geqslant  - 8 \dfrac{2}{5}


21 + x > 2( - 2 - 5x) + 6x \\ 21 + x >  - 4 - 10x + 6x \\ x + 10x - 6x >  - 4 - 21 \\ 5x >  - 25 \\ x >  - 5
