Solving Age Word Problems

If the problem involves a single person, then it is similar to an Integer Problem. Read the problem carefully to determine the relationship between the numbers. This is shown in the following example involving a single person.

If the age problem involves the ages of two or more people then using a table would be a good idea. A table will help you to organize the information and to write the equations. This is shown in the age problems: examples involving more than one person.

( y1 - y2 ) / ( x1 - x2 )
In this case, I calculated it to be 12/10, or 6/5
Next, we choose a point to use in our formula. I'll use point E since it does not have any negative signs. 
The final slope-intercept equation is then:
y - 8 = 6/5 * ( x - 4 )

Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+x+x=54

(x+x+x)=54(Combine Like Terms)

3x=54

3x=54

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x  3 = 54

3 x=18

Answer:

x=18

Answer:

<h2>____</h2><h3>1260 </h3><h2>____</h2>

Since we have to predict, we can use ratios to help us solve this.

12 said yes out of 72 randomly chosen, SO,

if 210 would say yes (goes to play), how many is total??

12 is to 72 AS 210 is to HOW MUCH (let it be x)??

We can setup ratio, cross multiply, and solve for x:

= 12/72= 210/x

= 12x = 210*72

=12x = 15,120

=x = 15,120/12

<h2>=x =1260</h2>
