Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
Answer:
x < 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 3x+2x = 5x
2. 5x - 8 < 22
3. 22+ 8 =30
4. 5x < 30
5. 30/5 = 6
6. x < 6
The best estimate is probably 4
