Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
x = your age
400 - 2x = 244
subtract 400 from both sides of the equation:
-2x = -156
divide both sides by -2:
x = 78
Answer:
Jamie. by 7/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Halverson completed: 3/16
Jamie completed: 10/16.
To understand who completed more, look at the denominator. The common denominator is 16. Assume a puzzle has 16 pieces and Halverson did 3 out of 16 and Jamie did 10 out of 16. This means Jamie did more.
If you want to know by how much Jamie did more, it would be the difference of both the fraction. This means that 10 done by Jamie minus 3 done by Halverson, which is 7. So 7 out of 16 is the difference.

7 out of 16 can be written as 7/16
9x-30 I’m pretty sure!
We are finding the difference, which means subtract! Nine times a number would be 9x and since it’s difference you would subtract it by 30.
Let's imagine we enclosed the entire shape in a 15 inch wide, 21 inch tall rectangle, area 315 sq inches.
From that rectangle we have to take away the 3x6 bottom left corner, and a strip 21-6=15 inches long and 3 inches wide on the right.
A = 15×21 - 3×6 - 3×15 = 315 - 63 = 252 sq in
Answer: D. 252 inches squared, last choice
