Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Nick's age = x years
Lina's age =3*x = 3x
After 6 years,
Lina's age = 3x + 6
Nick's age = x + 6
3x + 6 = 2*(x+6)
3x + 6 = 2*x + 2*6
3x + 6 = 2x + 12 {Subtract 6 form both sides}
3x +6 - 6 = 2x + 12 - 6
3x = 2x + 6 {subtract 2x from both sides}
3x - 2x = 2x + 6 - 2x
x = 6
Nick's age = 6 years
Lina's age =3*6 = 18 years
11. 2x+3x+1=21
5x+1 =21
5x=20
x=4
TU= 2(4) which is 8
UB= 3(4)+1 which is 13
12. 4x-1 +2x-1=5x
6x-2=5x
-2=-1x
2=x
X=2
TU= 7
UB= 3
TB=10
Problem 13:
2x-8=x+17
2x=x+25
x=25
AB =42
BC=42
AC=84
Problem 14:
3x-31
-x+6
=
2x-37 for BC part now we solve for x
x+6=2x-37
6=x-37
43=x
So :
X=43
AB=49
AC=98
BC=49
Answer: He has planted 2/3 and there is 1/3 left to plant.
Explanation: You need to add your fractions together, because each of those is a section of the garden and you need the total of how much of the garden he has planted.
This isn’t too difficult because the denominators are the same.
5/12 + 3/12 = 8/12
It is 8/12 because since the denominators are the same, you just need to add the numerators. Imagine you have a pie that’s cut into 12 pieces, and you and your friends take 5, and then your family takes 3. How many or gone now? 8 pieces. From how many pieces? 12 pieces. So 8/12 pieces are gone.
So Peter has planted 8/12 of his garden. This however, can be simplified, because both of those numbers divide by 4.
8/4 = 2
12/4 = 3
So 8 is now 2, and 12 is now 3.
This is now 2/3.
If there is 2/3 gone, you need to figure out how much is left to get you to 1.
In this instance, 1 can be rewritten as 3/3, because 3 divided by 3 is 1.
In order to get from 2/3 to 1, you need to add 1/3, one more third to the two thirds you already have.
This means Peter has 1/3 left to plant.
Hope this helps :)
