Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number
CK
8+15+62=85
85=85
Answer:
100/27
Step-by-step explanation:
keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, thus 6 months is really 6/12 of a year.
To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this
y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)
The we subtract one equation from the other to solve
0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10
Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20
