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.
Perimeter of a triangle = all 3 sides added together
x + (x - 4) + (x - 4) = 19
3x - 8 = 19
3x = 19 + 8
3x = 27
x = 27/3
x = 9 <==
Answer:
3+3+3x
i think idk just getting points goog luck
Step-by-step explanation:
Q) Without a calculator, we must estimate the value of the following expression:
![3-\sqrt[]{38}.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3-%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B38%7D.)
A) I estimate 3 - √38 to be approximately -3.2.
First, we estimate the value of √38. √38 is between √36 and √49, but close to √36 (since 38 is closer to 4 than it is to 9). Since √36 is 6, √38 is probably something like 6.1 or 6.2. Filling 6.2 in the expression and simplifying, we have this:
So, I expect the number 3 - √38 to be close to -3.2.
Using a calculator we find that: 3 - √38 ≅ -3.16, which it is approximately the result that we found.
Answer
Without a calculator we find that 3 - √38 ≅ -3.2.
Change you’ll receive is = 0.09
you can only buy 11 because if you divide 20/11 it will give you 1.81 and if you multiply 11x 1.81 it will give you 19.91 which is close to $20 & that’s the most you can buy .
