Solution:
we are given that 
John is 3 years older than Jim. Jim is 4 years less than half of Dana’s age. 
Let the age of Jim be x years then we can say
Age of John
If diana Age is D then 

It can be re-wriiten as 
Diana age 
Given that  their ages add up to 167

Hence jim is 39 nyears old, John is 39+3=42 years old. and Diana is 2*39+8=78+8=86 years old.
 
        
             
        
        
        
point slope form of a line
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y-4 = -3(x--5)
y-4 =-3(x+5)
to change to slope intercept form
dstribute
y-4 = -3x-15
add 4 to each side
y = -3x-15+4
y = -3x-11
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Possible 
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule for triangle side lengths is that the two shortest sides must add up to the longest side so it is possible because
3+7 = 10
Two short sides = The longest side
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
As you know, 4.78 is less than 5, so
.. yes, x=4.78 is a solution to x < 5
As you know, 6 = 6, but is not less than 6.
.. no, x=6 is not a solution to x < 6.
