This is correct, because it takes 27 minutes to get home so it will probably be about 30 minutes.
Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.

You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:4 -2x=3x +2
4-2=3x+2x
2=5x
X=2/5
Area of the square bottom = L x W = 5 x 5 = 25 square cm
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 5 x 6 = 15 square cm
Total area = 25 + 15 = 40 square cm.
