Alright, let's answer this -

Half of 48 is 24... 

Half of 24 is 12...

12 three times is 36...

36 + 12 is equal to 48. =)

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

The sum of two numbers is 100 and their difference is -20. What are the two numbers?
salantis [7]

Answer:

x=40 and y= 60

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>step:1</u>

Let 'x' and 'y' are two numbers

given data the sum of two numbers is 100

x+y = 100......(1)

Given difference of two numbers are

x - y = -20 ......(2)

<u>Step :2</u>

solving the equation (1) and (2)

adding the equations (1) and (2)

x+y+x-y=100-20

cancelling 'y' terms are

2 x = 80

dividing "2" on both sides, we get

x = 40

<u>Step :3</u>

substitute x = 40 in equation (1)

x + y =100

40 + y = 100

subtracting "40" on both sides, we get

40 + y - 40 = 100 -40

y = 60

Final answer:-

The two numbers are x = 40 and y= 60
