2x+3=y
X represents Drew's age and since Jimmy is 3 years older than Drew,x+3 represents Jimmy's age.

Answer:

False

True

False

False

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We have to get the sum as follows :

$3\frac{4}{9} + 4\frac{6}{9}$

= $\frac{31}{9} + \frac{42}{9}$

= $\frac{31 + 42}{9}$

= $\frac{73}{9}$

= $8\frac{1}{9} \neq 7\frac{1}{9}$

So, this is false.

2. We have to get the sum as follows :

$4\frac{5}{6} + 1\frac{3}{6}$

= $\frac{29}{6} + \frac{9}{6}$

= $\frac{29 + 9}{6}$

= $\frac{38}{6}$

= $6\frac{2}{6}$

So, this is true.

3. We have to get the difference as follows :

$4\frac{5}{8} - 2\frac{4}{8}$

= $\frac{37}{8} - \frac{20}{8}$

= $\frac{37 - 20}{8}$

= $\frac{17}{8}$

= $2\frac{1}{8} \neq 2\frac{3}{8}$

So, this is false.

4. We have to get the difference as follows :

$7\frac{5}{8} - 4\frac{2}{8}$

= $\frac{61}{8} - \frac{34}{8}$

= $\frac{61 - 34}{8}$

= $\frac{27}{8}$

= $3\frac{3}{8} \neq 3$

So, this is also false. (Answer)

amanda, bryan, and colin are in a book club. amanda reads twice as many books as bryan per month and colin reads 4 fewer than 3

lesya [120]

Please see below solution:
Let x = number of books that Bryan reads2x for amanda = Amanda 3x - 4 for Colin Amanda = 5/8(Bryan + Colin)2x = 5/8(x+3x-4)2x = 5/8(4x-4)

[16x = 5(4x-4)]816x = 20x - 20Subtract 20x from each side-4x =-20-4x/-4= -20/-4 divide -4 to eliminate the -4 in -4xx = 5
Therefore:
Bryan reads 5 books a month.
Since Amanda reads twice as many books a Bryan read so Amanda 10 books a month.
And Colin 11 books a month. 3(5) - 4 = 11
