3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three people

jamal = x (since im guessing hes the youngest)

wesley= x+1

John= x+2

the formula you would use is x+x+1+x+2=108

when you simplify that you get 3X+3=108

you subtract the 3 from 108 which leaves you with 3X=105

divide that by 3 which makes x=35

jamal is 35

wesley is 36

john is 37

Answer:

Mrs. Habib will have 22.25 feet of border left after she puts border around the board.

Step-by-step explanation:

You must find the perimeter of the board and subtract it from the amount of border she has to find how much she will have left after she uses it. The formula for perimeter is $P=2(l+w)$ , where $l=$ the length of the board, and $w=$ the width of the board. You will add those together and multiply them by 2 because there are 4 sides to a rectangle. That means this equation will look like:

$P=2(8.25+3.75)$

Now you can just solve for the perimeter.

$P=2(12)$

$P=24$

The perimeter is 24 feet. That means it will take 24 feet of border to cover her board. In order to find out how much she'll have left over, just subtract 24 from the total amount of border she has.

$46.25-24=22.25$
