We are given these three people age below:
- Jim's age
- Carla's age
- Tomy's age
We define the age of Jim as any variable, because the problem doesn't give any specific age. I will define Jim's age as x.
- Jim's age = x
Next, Carla is 5 years older than Jim. That means if Carla is 5 years older, her age would be x+5.
- Carla's age = x+5
Then Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. That means the age would be 6+(x+5).
- Tomy's age = 6+(x+5)
The sum of their three ages is 31 years old. That means we add all these ages and equal to 31.
Combine like terms and solve for x.
Then we substitute the value of x in ages to find these three people ages.
- Jim's age = x = 5
- Carla's age = x+5 = 5+5 = 10
- Tomy's age = 6+(x+5) = 6+(5+5) = 6+10 = 16.
Answer
- Jim's age = 5
- Carla's age = 10
- Tomy's age = 16
Answer:
So, the required width of rectangular piece of aluminium is 8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Perimeter of rectangular piece of aluminium = 62 inches
Let width of rectangular piece of aluminium = w
and length of rectangular piece of aluminium = w+15
We need to find width i.e value of x
The formula for finding perimeter of rectangle is:
Now, Putting values in formula for finding Width w:
After solving we get the width of rectangular piece :w = 8
So, the required width of rectangular piece of aluminium is 8 inches
