The age of Blain is 23 years old
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"
Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age
So we can frame a equation as:
age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)
a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1
Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain
Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16
b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
a = 2 + 3(a - 16)
a = 2 + 3a - 48
a - 3a = -46
-2a = -46
a = 23
Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old
Answer:
-5 5/10, -32/40,5
whenever a number has a negative sign,the larger the number the smaller.
i.e (-55/10= -5.5) is smaller than -32/40=-0.8 and then the greatest is 5 since it is a positive number and positive numbers are greater than negative numbers.
