Answer:
*Assuming that the question should read '8 years less than 3 times Danielle's age'*
Equation: 3a - 8 = 34, where 'a' = Danielle's age
Danielle's age (a) = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using key words and phrases from the problem, we can find Danielle's age by setting up an equation to solve for 'a'.
Since Danielle's aunt is '8 years less than 3 times Danielle's age' her aunt's age can be written as: 3a - 8. We also know her aunt is 34. So, the equation becomes:
3a - 8 = 34
Add 8 to both sides: 3a - 8 + 8 = 34 + 8 or 3a = 42
Divide both sides by 3: 3a/3 = 42/3
Solve for a: a = 14, so Danielle's age is 14 years old.
*Given
Money of Phoebe - 3 times as much as Andy
Money of Andy - 2 times as much as Polly
Total money of Phoebe, - £270
Andy and Polly
*Solution
Let
B - Phoebe's money
A - Andy's money
L - Polly's money
1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,
B + A + L = £270 (EQUATION 1)
2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as
B = 3A
3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as
A = 2L (EQUATION 2)
4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,
B = 3A
B = 3 x (2L)
B = 6L (EQUATION 3)
This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.
5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,
6L + 2L + L = £270
9L = £270
L = £30
So, Polly has £30.
6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.
A = 2L
A = 2(£30)
A = £60
Andy has £60
B = 6L
B = 6(£30)
B = £180
Phoebe has £180
Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.
