Hi!
(l = Lenny
m = Max)
Lenny is 3 times as old as Max.
3m = l
When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.
L - m = 24
Put in the value of l.
3m - m = 24
There is our equation.
Now solve
2m = 24
2m/2 = 24/2
m = 12
3 * 12 = l
36 = l
The equation is 3m - m = 24
Max is 12 and Lenny is 36.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
y= -3/2x+9
Step-by-step explanation:
Well we have to know that to find a line perpendicular to a given line, you have to have opposite slopes. So that makes the equation begin as y=-3/2x because it's opposite of y=2/3x. Then we have to make sure it goes through the point (4,3). To do that, I tweaked the numbers in my graphing calculator and it worked with 9! So the equation is y= -3/2x+9
You answer is C because 7-(-2) is 9 and then u just had an X at the end .
Hope this helps:)
5 1/2 * 3 1/4
1 + 5 . 2/2 * 1 + 3 . 4/4 = 11/2 * 13/4 = 11 . 13/2 . 4 = 143/8 = 7 + 17 . 8/8 = 17 7/8
= 17 . 875
Detailed explanation of solution:
5 1/2 * 3 1/4
Transform the first mix number to improper fraction:
5 1/2 = 1 + 5 . 2/2 = 11/2
Transform the second mix number to improper fraction:
3 1/4 = 1 + 3. 4/4 = 13/4
Multiplying two fractions:
11/2 * 13/4 = 11 . 13/2 . 4 = 143/8
Since the numerator is greater than the denominator, We convert the improper fraction to mix fraction:
143/8 = 7 + 17.8/8
= 17 7/8 (Decimal: 17. 875)
Hope that helps!!!!!! ( Answer: 17 7/8, (Decimal: 17.875)
