Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From equations (1) & (2), we find:
6x - 8 = - 3x +10
Plug x = 2 in equation (1)
y = 6(2)-8 = 12-8 =4
So,
I believe this would be 51
Answer:
n = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5n - 12 = -3n + 4
5n + 3n = 4 + 12
8n = 16
n = 2
