Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides by 3
Let’s make an equation
Let’s say x = amount of years after
Smith = 8, mother = 42
3(8 + x) = 42 + x
24 + 3x = 42 + x
2x = 18, x = 9
Solution: after 9 years
To find the same value as 3 x 1/10 you first have to solve 3 x 1/10
so how to do this is you have to make 3 into a fraction
so to make 3 into a fraction you can put 3 as the numerator and 1 as the denominator
so you multiply
so 3/10 has the same value as 3x1/10
