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!

the sum of 16 numbers is 240.The average of 6 of those numbers is 10. the average of the remaining numbers is
Ivan

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average of 6 numbers is 10, then the sum of those 6 numbers is:

6 x 10 = 60

To calculate the sum of the remaining 10 numbers, subtract 60 from the total sum of all the numbers:

240 - 60 = 180

Therefore, the average of the 10 remaining numbers:

180 ÷ 10 = 18
