Answer:

Ray = 19 yrs old
Tom = 25 yrs old
John = 57 yrs old

Explanation:

Let x be the years of Tom

R = x - 6
J = 3R = 3(x - 6)
T = x

R + J + T = 101
x - 6 + 3(x - 6) + x = 101
2x - 6 + 3x - 18 = 101
5x - 24 = 101
5x = 125
x = 125/5 = 25

R = 25 - 6 = 19
J = 3(25 - 6) = 57
T = 25

In Exercises 17-20, find the value of x so that the function has the given value. 17. f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) = 17
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

17.) x = 3

18.) x = -5

I couldn't do 19.) and 20.) for you because there are weird symbols that I believe you mistakenly input. But I'm sure you now get the gist of how to solve such problems. Peace <3

Step-by-step explanation:

All you really have to do for all of the problems is substitute your value of "x" for the function.

17.) f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) =17

    17 = 8x -7  ---- substitute 17 for f(x), add 7 on both sides

    24 = 8x ------ divide 8 on both sides

    x = 3

18.)    g(x) = -4x + 7; g(x) = 27

           27  = -4x + 7  substitute 27 for g(x), subtract 7 on both sides

           20 = -4x

            x = -5
