Answer:
that should be how you would solve those questions..
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.
6 bags × 24 balloons = the amount of round balloons
6× 24 = 144
3 bags × 36 balloons = the amount of long balloons
3 ×36=108
108 long balloons - 144 round balloons = number of more long balloons that round ones
108-144=-36
He has -36 more long balloons that round ones
Or 36 more round balloons that long ones
Hello there!
(-1)^3 * (-1)^2
Use the distributive property
= (-1)(-1)(-1)* (-1)(-1)
= (-1)^5
= -1
I hope this helps!
(6/13)/(6/12)= (6/13)*(12/6)= 12/13
This rule for division applies to all fraction divisions
