Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
That's the second one,
180 - x = r
Whenever two lines cross we get congruent opposite angles and supplemental adjacent angles, i.e. they add to 180 degrees.
The first one is almost right; we have r+y+z=180 and r+x=180 so x=y+z not quite what was written.
Answer:
24s^2, 54s^2, 96s^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the initial side length of the cube. Then the area of each face of the cube is A = 6s^2 (recalling that the area of a square of side length s is s^2).
a) Now suppose we double the side length. The total area of the 6 faces of the cube will now be A = 6(2s)^2, or 24s^2 (a 24 times larger surface area),
b) tripled: A = 6(3s)^2 = 54x^2
c) quadrupled? A = 6(4s)^2 = 96s^2
