Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The phrase "Three times the quantity five less than x" means 3 multiplied by the difference of x minus 5
3(x-5)
The phrase "the product of six and x" means the number 6 multiplied by x
6x
therefore
The phrase" Three times the quantity five less than x, divided by the product of six and x" is equal to the quotient of 3(x-5) and 6x

Answer:</h3>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can let the variables A and B stand for the length in inches of fish A and fish B, respectively.
If we assume each person bought fish having a total length of 1 inch per gallon of aquarium, then we can write equations ...
... 3A +2B = 33 . . . . . total length of Marta's fish
... 3A +4B = 45 . . . . . total length of Hank's fish
Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...
... 2B = 12
... B = 6 . . . . . divide by 2
Using this value in the first equation, we have ...
... 3A + 2·6 = 33
... 3A = 21 . . . . . . . . subtract 12
... A = 7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Fish A is 7 inches long; fish B is 6 inches long.

Answer: 15 years old</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
m = Maggie's age (some positive whole number)
4m = four times her age
4m-7 = seven years younger than 4m = brother's age
Add up her age (m) and her brother's age (4m-7) to get a sum of 68.
m+(4m-7) = 68
5m-7 = 68
5m = 68+7
5m = 75
m = 75/5
m = 15
Maggie is currently 15 years old.
Her brother is currently 4m-7 = 4*15-7 = 60-7 = 53 years old.
Their current year ages add to: 15+53 = 68 which confirms the answer.
