Answer 1

Answer:

(C) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

• s + 3s = 4s
• t + 3t = 4t

If 4s is 2 more than 4t, then:

• 4s = 2+ 4t
• 4s - 4t = 2
• 4s/4 - 4t/4 = 2/4
• s - t = 1/2

(C) is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

t + 3t + 2 = s + 3s, that is

4t + 2 = 4s ( subtract 4t from both sides )

2 = 4s - 4t ← factor out 4 from each term

2 = 4(s - t) ← divide both sides by 4 , thus

s - t = $\frac{2}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ → C
