In this equation y would equal 4 or it could be 1
Answer:
799
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the hundreds digit
Let y = the ones digit
x = y-2
We want to maximize x and y. The both have to be single digit numbers
Rewriting this
x+2 =y
The largest x can be is 7 if y is a single digit
x is 7 and y is 9
We can pick the tens digit. Make it as big as possible to make out number as large as possible
799
6= 4(z+9)/y+2
6y +12 =4(z+9)
6y=4(z+9) -12
y=(4(z+9)-12)/6
y=2z+18-6/3
y=2z+12 /3
If alonzo is x then the equation is
x + (x +3) + 2(x + 3) = 57
Which equals
x + x + 3 + 2x + 6 = 57
4x + 9 = 57
4x = 48
x = 12
This means alonzo is 12 years old and alexis is 3 years older so alexis is 15 years old
Answer = 15 years old
