Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
36/54 = x/100
54x = 100 * 36
54x = 3600
x = 3600 ÷ 54
x = 66.666666.... so 66.67
First put it into a proportion and then cross multiply. After that you divide both sides by 54 to get x alone which gives you 66.66666 which is rounded to 66.67
Answer: 66.67%
Answer- 4x-6
explain- i got it right
When you multiply 8•26 you get 208
