I would use a chart to solve this problem.
This is a good wya to organize your information.
Down the left side, list the people involved.
I put Bob first and the mom second but the order doesn't matter.
Since Bob's mom is 3 times older than Bob, we can represent
Bob's age now as x and Bob's mom's age now as 3x.
Bob's age in 12 years will be x + 12 and Bob's mom's
age in 12 years will simply be 3x + 12.
Since the second sentence starts with in 12 years,
we will be using the information from our second column.
In 12 years, Bob's mom's age, 3x + 12, will be,
equals, twice of her son's age, 2(x + 12).
Solving from here, we find that x = 12.
This means that Bob's age now is 12 and his mom is 36.
The chart is attached below.
Answer:
Area = 21/2 = 10.5 area units
Step-by-step explanation:
Two of the points are on the same line (the y-axis) as they both have x-coordinates of 0. This can thus be the base of your triangle.
Two more are on the same line (y= -9) as they both have the same y-coordinate of -9. This can be the height of your triangle.
So you have a base which is between -2 and -9 (7 units) and a height which is between 0 and 3 (3 units) so now just use the equation for area of a triangle
