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:
The first answer is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Line 5 says that the reason is due to substitution
Line 3 says m∠ SQT equals 180°
If we substitute 180° into the spot for m∠ SQT in line 4, we get solution option 1
It’s True because of 5 square is equal to 25
Than (-5) square is also get the same value as 5^2
