S=sullivan's age
d=daughter's age
in 3 years time (s+3 and d+3)
sulivan is 3 times as old as daughter
s+3=3(d+3)
6 years ago (s-6 and d-6)
he was 6 times as old
s-6=6(d-6)
expand
s+3=3d+9
s-6=6d-36
for 2nd equation, add 6 to both sides
s=6d-30
sub 6d+30 for s in other equation
6d-30+3=3d+9
6d-27=3d+9
minus 3d both sides
3d-27=9
add 27 both sides
3d=36
divide both sides by 3
d=12
sub back
s=6d-30
s=6(12)-30
s=72-30
s=42
Mr. Sullivan is 42 now
Daughter is 12 now

The equation to find the length of the longer piece is
x- 12 = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
- A carpenter had two pieces of lumber that totaled in length = 55 feet
- The shorter piece than the longer piece has length of which is = 12 feet
- The longer piece is denoted as= x
- Find x = ?
- The equation can be formed to find the value of x as,
- Longer piece (x) ₋ shorter piece (12) = total length (55)
- Therefore, x ₋ 12 = 55
- the above equation states that
- if you subtract the shorter piece from the total length of the you will get the length of the longer piece.
- therefore,
- if you shift the value of shorter length on the right hand side, you can find the value of x
- so, x= 55 ₋ 12
- value of x = 43
- therefore, the length of the longer piece is 43 feet long.
