Answer:

9 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dotty is 51 years old and Esmerelda is 23 now.

Now, x years ago the age of Dotty was (51 - x) years and the age of Esmerelda was (23 - x) years.

Assume that x years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age.

So, we can write the equation as

3(23 - x) = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 3x = 51 - x

⇒ 69 - 51 = 3x - x

⇒ 18 = 2x

⇒ x = 9 years.

Therefore, 9 years ago Dotty was 3 times Esmerelda's age. (Answer)

What numbers less than 200 are divisble by 4 but not 12
kolezko [41]

Answer:

There are 48 numbers that satisfy the condition

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the relationship between 3 and 12

3 * 4 = 12

The maximum number of multiples of 12 within 200 is 18.

The maximum number of multiples within 200 is 66.

So the number of numbers within 200 that go exactly into 3 but not exactly into 12 is:

66-18 = 48
