Hi!
(l = Lenny
m = Max)
Lenny is 3 times as old as Max.
3m = l
When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.
L - m = 24
Put in the value of l.
3m - m = 24
There is our equation.
Now solve
2m = 24
2m/2 = 24/2
m = 12
3 * 12 = l
36 = l
The equation is 3m - m = 24
Max is 12 and Lenny is 36.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
nine hundred five thousand two hundred thirty-eight
It will be less than the first factor.
Just look at it this way do 8(1) instead of x and graph that on the x axis
then do 4(1)instead of y and graph on the y axis then figure out which numbers you need to keep inputting until you reach 56 on the graph.
So the greatest common factor of 40 and 16 is 8
40/8 : 16/8
5:2
The simplest form of the ratio 40:16 is 5:2
Hope this helps!
