Let x = age of jack

Let y = age of Lacy

x=3y (Jack age is 3 times that of Lacy)

(x+y)-8 = 25

Substituting value of x:

(3y+y) -8 = 25

4y - 8 = 25

4y = 33

y = 33/4 = 8.25 or 8 years 3 months (age of Lacy)

x = 3(8.25) = 24.75 or 24 years 9 months (age of Jack)

Checking:

Substituting in equation ( x + y ) -8 = 25

24.75 + 8.25 - 8 = 25

25 = 25

Mila [183]

Answer:

-\frac{7}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks to girls from relatives and earnings from an afterschool job, she has already saved $3700. If she's a seed in her goal of saving $150 per month, then if she saves for x months, the total amount that she would be have earned is

150x + 3700

1 year = 24 months

If she saves for 2 years, it means that the number of months for which she saved is 2 × 12 = 24 months. Therefore, the total amount

that she will have two years from now is

150 × 24 + 3700

= 3600 + 3700

= $7300
