Answer:

Sally is 23 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

John's age is completely unknown, so it is known as x

Meanwhile, Sally's age can be represented as 3x+2

The sum of both ages is 30.

So, x+3x+2=30

Combine like terms.

4x+2=30

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4x=28

Divide both sides by 4.

x=7

John is 7 years old.

Sally's age: 3(7)+2=23

Sally is 23 years old.

Answer:

They use 741 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

65/100
