Alright, let's answer this -

Half of 48 is 24... 

Half of 24 is 12...

12 three times is 36...

H = Harvey
j = Jane

Harvey is 3 times as old as Jane = 3 times j

<span>The sum of their ages is 48 years.

sum = addition
 
The keyword is means use a equal sign so..

h + j = 48

h = 3 times j

3j + j = 48
4j = 48
4j / 4 = 48 /4 
j = 12

j = 12

Now lets find for Harvey. Harvey = 3 times j

Harvey = 3j = 3 times 12 = 36

Jane = 12
Harvey = 36

A plane is flying from Albuquerque new Mexico to Austin Texas so far it has flown 161 miles or 23% of the total distance of the
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: 700 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that 23% of the total distance of the flight from Albuquerque New Mexico to Austin Texas is 161 miles.

2. Then, keeping that information on mind, you can calculate the total distance of the flight (which you call x) as following:

\frac{161miles}{23\%}=\frac{x}{100\%}

Solve for x. Then, you obtain that the result is:

x=\frac{161miles*100\%}{23\%}\\x=700miles

add the like terms

-x^2 +3x = 0

-x (x-3) = 0 then x is either 0 or 3
