Answer:

The ages of the children are 6, 9 and 12.

Explanation:

Let x= the age of the youngest child.

If the oldest child is twice the age of the youngest, the age of the oldest child is twice x or 2x.

If the middle child is 3 years older than the youngest, the age of the middle child is x+3.

If the sum of their ages is 27, then

x+2x+x+3=27aaa(Combine like terms)

4x+3=27aaa

aa−3a−3aaa(Subtract 3 from both sides)

4x=24

4x4=24aaa(Divide both sides by 4)

Answer:

6, 9 & 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the age of the youngest kid

if the oldest kid is twice the age of the youngest, then it would be 2x

if the middle kid is 3 years older than the youngest, let this be x+3

if their ages in total is 27, then the equation is

x+2x+x+3=27

combine like terms first

4x+3=27

subtract 3 from both sides

4x=24

divide both sides by 4

you get 6. The youngest kid is 6.

For the oldest kid, the equation is 2x=2 times 6=12

the age of the middle child, equation is (x+3)=6+3=9

Hoped this helped!

makkiz [27]
C = 25h + 100 ......renting for 2 hrs...sub in 2 for h
c = 25(2) + 100
c = 50 + 100
c = 150 <===

BRAINLIEST ANSWER!! The product of 3, and a number increased by seven, is -36. Translate the equation, then solve.
EleoNora [17]

Product is multiplication.

Let the number = x


3 *( X+7) = -36

Use distributive property:

3x +21 = -36

Subtract 21 from each side:

3x = -57

Divide both sides by 3:

x = -57 /3

x = -19


Check: 3 * (-19 +7) = 3 * -12 = -36


The number is -19

Matt reasoned that he can write 9/1,000 as 0.9. Is he correct? Explain your answer.
GuDViN [60]
No because 9/1,000 in decimals would be 0.009 because if the number was a 3 number then it would go in the tenths
