 First, establish what you already know to be true:
P = 3 + R \\ E = 2R \\ R + E = 81
 
 You can use these equations to solve each other. Let's take the last one, R + E = 81. Using the additive property of equality, we find that R = 81 - E. We now know that Mr. Richard's age is 81 minus Mr. Edward's age. If we substitute this equation into the second one, we have E = 2(81 - E). Now use the distributive property to simplify:
E = 162 - 2E, and solve for E:
E = 162 - 2E \\ 3E = 162 \\ E = 54.
 
 Now we have a definite age. Use this to find the other two ages:
R + 54 = 81 \\ R = 27
and
27 = 3 + P \\ -P + 27 = 3 \\ -P = -24 \\ P = 24.

 We now know that Ms. Pacheo is 24, Mr. Edwards is 54, and Mr. Richard's is 27! :D

Mr edwards = Mr r x 2
Mr r = Mr p - 3 = Mr e ÷ 2.                       Mr p = 30
Mr e + Mr r = 81.                                       Mr e = 54
Mr p = Mr r + 3.                                         Mr r = 27

Mr Edwards = 2(Mr p - 3)
Mr e = 2(mr p) - 6

Mr r = [2(Mr p) -6] ÷ 2
Mr r = [2( Mr r + 3) - 6] ÷ 2

2(Mr r) + (Mr p - 3) = 81
2(Mr p -3) + (Mr p - 3) = 81
3(Mr p - 3) = 81 
3(Mr p) - 9 = 81.                               Hope this helps!!!
3(Mr p) + 9 = 81 + 9
3(Mr p) = 90
Mr p = 90 ÷ 3
Mr p = 30

Multiple choice question please answer it for me
timofeeve [1]
The answer is the second choice, or B; 240 ft^2.

You have to find the area of all four triangles and just add those all together. 

Two of the triangles have an area of 
5*16=80
Multiply that by two
80*2=160

The other two smaller triangles have an area of 
8*5=40
Multiply that by 2 also
40*2=80

Add 160+80 and the answer is 240.

Solve showing all work and simplify completely:<br> 9/18 + 1/3
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

9/18 + 1/3 <Need the same denominator so find the lowest common multiple.

3 6 9 12 15 18 < multiples of 3

if 3 goes into 18 than it will be our LCM

3 goes into 18 6 times so multiply 1 and 3 by 6 and rewrite the equation

9/18 + 6/18 < just add 9 + 6 and place it over 18

15/18 <this number can be simplified so write out their factors and pick the highest one to divide by one they have in common.

1 3 5 15 <Factors of 15

1 2 3 6 9 18 <Factors of 18

3 is the highest one they both have so divide both 15 and 18  by 3

15/3 is 5 and 18/3 is 6

put the 5 and 6 in their proper places and you have 5/6 or .83333333333...
