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.
A. you plug in to a calculator, which will give 1840.986 so you need to round up to 1840.99. if you truncate it to .98 then he won't reach 2000 in 3 years
b. for this one if you look at the equation given to find the principle it is principle = result (1+rate) ^ -time
if you re arrange this you get result=principle (1+rate)^time
so result = 1840.99(1.028)^5
= 2113.57
Use a box. Split the terms into the boxes and then multiply across. Sort of like area multiplication, only with terms.
