Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
Answer:
the answer is r<1 that's the inequality
Answer:
x = 21.3 repeating. so put the - on top of the 3 if you're writing it down
Answer:
7. 5
pizza
8. B
9. 11
inches
10. -12
11. 
12. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
7. 3
+ 2 
make them mixed fractions:
+ 
get a common denominator by multiplying
by 4:
+ 
add the numerators: 
simplify the fraction by dividing 45 by 8: 5 
8. 3 x 6 = 18
5 x 6 = 30
7 x 6 = 42
9 x 6 = 54
therefore, y = 6x
9. 5:7 is similar to 8:L
divide 8 by 5: 1 
multiply 7 by 1
: 11 
L = 11
inches
10. 5 - 2x = 29
subtract 5 from each side: -2x = 24
divide each side by -2: x = -12
11. fruit = 15%
15% = 15/100
simplify by dividing by 5: 
12. the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis (the vertical one). the line crosses the y-axis at 4.
