Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
to get from 3/4 to 12/x you gotta multiple 3 times 4 which is 12 so the bottom multiple that by 4 also which 4 x 4 is 16
Charmaine= x
William=x+3
3 times Charmaine = 3x
2times William = 2x+6
5x+6=76
5x=76-6
5x=70
X=14
Charmaine is 14
William is 3 years older so is 17
Check:
17x2= 34
14x3=42
34+42=76
So Charmaine is 14
William is 17
The value of x from the given equation is 5/3
<h3>How to determine the value</h3>
Since the three points are collinear to U, they are on a straight line which equals 0
Then we have,
UM + UD = MD
5x+30 + 10x+20 = 3x+80
Collect like terms
5x + 10x + 50 = 3x + 80
15x - 3x = 80 - 50
12x = 30
x = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/3
Thus, the value of x from the given equation is 5/3
