The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
We have then:
x = Tim's age
Now we write the equation:
x + 7 = 3 (x-19)
Answer:
Tim's age in 7 years will be three times what it was 19 years ago:
x + 7 = 3 (x-19)
The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.
The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.
The speed ratio is ...
... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1
so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...
... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.
Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
1/18 can't be simplified because 1 cant be simplified. What ever happens to one side of the equation happens to the other, so nothing can happen to the 1 so nothing can happen to the 18
It cant be simplified
Answer:
I think it is B or D
actually it is B i got 100%
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3/8 + 1/4 is 5/8 and 1/10+4/5 is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
convert 1/4 to 2/8 and add to 3/8 to get 5/8
convert 4/5 to 9/10 and add to 1/10 equals 10/10 which is also 1
