Frank = F
Sue = S
John = J
F=3*S
F = J+15
S = J-1
If you want to find Frank's age, then his age would be equivalent to John's plus 15 years.
A.-Would not work because Frank is three times Sue's age, not John's (left hand side of the equation).
B.-Notice that the right hand side of the equation is equivalent to Sue's age, which we know is John-1, however it is currently written to be "three times Sue's age minus one" which would give us John's age, plus two more years than his actual age on the left hand side.
C.-Frank's age is equal to John's plus fifteen (right side of the equation) and Frank is equal to Sue's age times 3. But, if Sue is in terms of Johns, then Sue's age is John's minus one. Therefore, Frank's age is equal to three times Sue's age of John minus one, which is the left-hand side of our equation.
Therefore C is the answer. C:
3(5j+4)
15j+12
final answer 15j+12
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:
let x be the shorter piece
x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)
Remove brackets
x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms
2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"
2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 9 shorter piece
The shorter piece would be 9 inches.
If you needed the longer piece too:
longer piece = x + 8
x + 8
= 9 + 8
= 17
The longer piece would be 17 inches.
Check your answer:
Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths
17 + 9 = 26 Add
26 = 26 same number
LS = RS left side equals right side
The answer is correct.
I think it's A. I can't really see the graphs clearly. It's the one that crosses at (15,2)
