Answer:

George is 18 and his brother is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the brother's age be n then George's age is 3n ( 3 times his brother's age )

n + 3n = 24 ( sum of their ages )

4n = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )

n = 6

and 3n = 3 × 6 = 18

George is 18 years old and his brother is 6 years old.

Answer:

G=18

Step-by-step explanation:

George-G

1/3G+G=24

4/3G=24

3/4*4/3G=24*3/4

G=18

George will be 18 years old there we can find his brothers age by dividing it by three thus 18/3=6

2)The goal is to isolate the variable and get is down to x<?. This is actually a two step inequality problem. 0.7x - 2 < 5.5       +2   +2 0.7x<7.5 This implies: x<10.714 The way to graph this is to place an open circle of the number 10.714 on the number line indicating this number is not included  as a solution to the inequality. Then draw the arrow going left from the open circle indicating all numbers from -∞ to 10.714.
