Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up and solve an equation:
3(90-x) = (180-x). Then 270 - 3x = 180 - x, or 270 - 180 = 2x.
90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.
Is this true? 3(90-45) = (180-45)? If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...
200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16
200 - 2x = 16
Now let's solve for x to find "my age"
First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x
-2x = -184
Divide each side by -2 to isolate x
x = -184/-2
x = 92
I'm 92 years old!
