Answer:
7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Suri's age=17 years
Her cousin's age =c
Suri's age is 4 less than 3 times her cousin's age
4 less than 3 times her cousin's age means subtract 4 from 3 times her cousin's age
17=3c - 4
Find c which is her cousin's age
Add 4 to both sides
17+4=3c - 4 + 4
17+4=3c
21=3c
Divide both sides by 3
21/3=3c/3
7=c
Therefore,
C= 7
Her cousin's age = 7 years
1. plug in the numbers for the variables, like this: 9(-5)+18(-1)
2. solve
Hopefully this helps! Let me know if you need more explanation.
The denominator of the second fraction can be factored as (a-2)(2a-7), then it becomes doable. You cancel the (2a-7) factors, and are left with:

Do note that you have erased the fact that a≠0 and a≠7/2, so you should always mention that.
The correct answer is 6.5 x 10^2.
We have the amount for 1 second. To convert to 5 hours, we need to multiply it by 60 and 60 and 5.
0.036 x 60 x 60 x 5 = 648
Or about 6.5 x 10^2
