So let's take a peek at both's ages, keep in mind, every year, is 1year added to Irene and 1year added to Fred
so... if we look at their ages

notice, Fred is always 40years older than Irene
thus, whatever age Irene is, let's say "i", then Fred is " i + 40 "
now, when is Fred 5 times Irene's age or 5*i or 5i? well,
f = fred's age i = irene's age
f = i + 40
now if f = 5i
5i = i + 40 <--- solve for "i" to see how old Irene was then
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
it goes from the 7th power to the 4th power. So add them together and you get 11
You find the mean by adding each value then dividing the sum by the number of values there were so in this case you'd say 301 + 222 + 287 + 310 + 346 which is 1466 then divide by 5 because there are 5 values and your answer is 293.2!
I hope this helps
12x = 10x + 3
Subtract 10x from both sides
2x = 3
Divide by two on each side
x = 3/2 or 1 1/2 hours
Distance of the trip:
12 * 2 * 3/2 = 36 miles
How long does the trip take:
3/2 + 3/2 + 3/10 = 3 3/10 hours
