Let's begin by calling Sarah's age now as X. As Ralph is 3 times as old as Sarah, X times 3 = 3X. Hence, Ralph's age is 3X. In six years, Ralph will be twice as old as Sarah. To calculate six years from now, add 6 to X for Sarah, and 6 to 3X for Ralph. As Ralph is twice as old as Sarah and we want to find the difference between the ages to calculate X, multiply X+6 by 2. You'll get 2X+12. Therefore, 2X+12=3X+6. Deduct 6 from 3X+6 as we want to isolate the variable. Because you did that to one side, you have to deduct 6 from 2X+12. Hence, now you have 2X+6=3X. X=6. Ralph's age is 3X, so 6 times 3 is 18. Ralph is 18 years old.
A would be "each point does not always give the same amount of tickets. B would be "the price for each pound of tuna appears to be the same".
Your saying you want all 5 of these questions answered?
The answer is 16.
First of all, you need to divide 4 by 1/4.
4/1 / 1/4 = 1.
15 - 1 + 2
Next, you go from left to right with addition and subtraction, so subtract 1 from 15 first.
15 - 1 = 14
14 + 2
Finally, add 14 and 2.
14 + 2 = 16.
So the original area is 300*150 (or 45000 ft^2), but now the new area is (300+3y)(150+3y).
The polynomial in standard form would be 45000+900y+450y+9y^2=45000+1350y+9y^2
But the proper way to write it is 9y^2+1350y+45000
When y=4, we get 9(4^2)+1350(4)+45000=9(16)+54000+45000=144+99000=99144
So the new area would be 99144 ft^2
Hope this helped!
