We are given these three people age below:
- Jim's age
- Carla's age
- Tomy's age
We define the age of Jim as any variable, because the problem doesn't give any specific age. I will define Jim's age as x.
Next, Carla is 5 years older than Jim. That means if Carla is 5 years older, her age would be x+5.
Then Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. That means the age would be 6+(x+5).
The sum of their three ages is 31 years old. That means we add all these ages and equal to 31.

Combine like terms and solve for x.

Then we substitute the value of x in ages to find these three people ages.
- Jim's age = x = 5
- Carla's age = x+5 = 5+5 = 10
- Tomy's age = 6+(x+5) = 6+(5+5) = 6+10 = 16.
Answer
- Jim's age = 5
- Carla's age = 10
- Tomy's age = 16

Answer:
35 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
First find out how many questions he got right setting up an equation.
1)3x=84.
The variable 'x' is the answers he got correct. The next step would be to divide by 3 to get the x alone. Remember, whatever you do to one side is done to the other so divide 84 by three as well
2) 3x÷3 = x.
84÷3=28.
which leads you to x=28.
Then, since he got 7 wrong, you would add the 7 to the 28 he got correct to get the final answer.
3) 28+7=35
another way you can do this is multiply numbers by three until you get to 84. The number you multiplied by is the amount he got correct, then add the correct and wrong ones together to get 35
