Answer:Robert's minimum age is 11 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent George's age.
Let y represent Edward's age.
Let z represent Robert's age.
George is twice as old as Edward. It means that
x = 2y
Edward's age exceeds Robert's age by 4 years. It means that
z = y - 4
If the sum of the three ages is at least 56 years, it means that
x + y + z ≥ 56 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 2y and z = y - 4 into equation 1, it becomes
2y + y + y - 4 ≥ 56
4y - 4 ≥ 56
4y ≥ 56 + 4
y ≥ 60/4
y ≥ 15
z = y - 4 = 15 - 4
z ≥ 11
Hello!
We are given the equation below.
x+40=3x
We want to get all of the variables on side. First of all let's subtract 40 from both sides.
x=3x-40
Now we rearrange our equation so the commutative property will work.
x=3x+(-40)
x=-40+3x
Now we subtract 3x from both sides.
-2x=-40
We divide both sides by -2.
x=20
Our answer is A) 20.
I hope this helps!
1,609.35 meters are in a mile.
3,600 seconds are in an hour.
1,609.35meters x 60miles = 96,561 meters per hour
96,561meters per hour / 3,600seconds = 26.82 meters per second

Mrs. Smith donated $20
The constant proportionality is $1 because no matter what, Mrs. smith will donate $1 for each mile. So if Sam were to only walk 1 mile, mrs. smith would donate $1. Or seen as a 1:1 proportion.
