Answer: 3
Explanation:
x + 7 = 5 x 2
you do 5(2) and get 10
plug in 10 and the equation looks like:
x + 7 = 10
from there you would subtract 7 from 7 and 10 to isolate x and get your answer of:
x = 3 :)
10.4% as a fraction is 104/1000
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arith. sequence.
The first term is 3 and the common difference is 1
Thus, the general formula for the nth term of this sequence is:
a(n) = 3 + 1(n - 1) This matches Answer A
If f(x)=2x-1 just plug in the 3 where x is. So it would be 2(3)-1=5
Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
