It will take 6 years for that to happen.
You can find this by setting Nichole's age as x and Sophie's age as x + 28 since she will always be 28 years older.
Now we are looking for a time that Sophie's age is equal to 2 less than 6 times Nichole's age. So we can set up the below equation.
6(x) - 2 = x + 28
6x - 2 = x + 28
5x - 2 = 28
5x = 30
x = 6
This let's us know that it needs to be when Nichole is 6, which is 6 years in the future.
Answer:
y = 3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
when you check, only that equation delivers the correct x and y pairs.
x = 0, => y = 3×0 + 3 = 3
x = 1, y = 3×1 + 3 = 3+3 = 6
x = 2, y = 3×2 + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9
x = 3, y = 3×3 + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12
it all fits.
Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
In three days, the ant farm consumed 1/2 an apple. In 6 days the ant farm will consume 1 apple. We can multiply 6 days by 3 for three apples.
6(3)=18 days
