Answer:
1 : 12 : 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A, G, C represent the ages of Alex, George, and Carl, respectively. We are told that ...
A = G +12
C = 3A . . . . . . . we read this as "3 times as old"; not "3 times older"
A + G + C = 68
Substituting for G and C, we have ...
A + (A -12) +(3A) = 68
5A = 80 . . . . . add 12
A = 16 . . . . . . . divide by 5
The other ages are then ...
G = A-12 = 16 -12 = 4
C = 3A = 3·16 = 48
The ratios are ...
G : C : A = 4 : 48 : 16
G : C : A = 1 : 12 : 4
<u>Answer:</u>
19.15
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
16.80 x 5% = 0.84
16.80 - 0.84 = 15.96
15.96 x 20% = 3.19
15.96 + 3.19 = 19.15
Answer:
where 
is the number of laptops, and 
is the year.
in 2017: 
Step-by-step explanation:
I will define the variable 
as the number of years that passed since 2007.
Since the school buys 20 lapts each year, after a number of years, the school will have
more laptops.
and thus, since the school starts with 31 laptops, the equation to model this situation is
where is the number of laptops.
since x is the number of years that have passed since 2007, it can be represented like this:
where can be any year, so the equation to model the situation using the year:
and this way we can find the number of laptos at the end of 2017:
and
