Represent Age of Time Traveler =========> X

Solve:

x = 3(x - 20 )


Step 1: Simplify Both sides of equation:

x = 3(x - 20 )

x = (3) (x) + (3) ( - 20 ) (Distribute ):

x = 3x + - 60

x = 3x - 60


Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides:

x - 3x = 3x - 60 - 3x

- 2x = - 60


Step 3: Divide both sides by -2:

- 2x / - 2 = - 60 / - 2

x = 30



Answer: Our Time Traveler is 30 years old.




Hope that helps : )

A cab company charges three dollars per cab ride plus an additional two dollar per mile driven how long is a cab ride that cost
Sav [38]

If the ride cost $9 then the miles will be 3 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are given:

Cost of one cab ride R = $3

Additional Cost per mile M = $2

So, Total cost of Cab Ride = $3 + $2M

If cost of cab ride is $9 then we need to find the miles

$3 + $2M = $9

Solving

$2M = $9 - $3

$2M = $6

=> M = $6/$2

M = 3 miles

So, if the ride cost $9 then the miles will be 3 miles.
