Let t represent Todd's age now.
.. 4(t -3) -(t -3) = 81 . . . . . . 3 years ago, their differnce in ages was 81.
.. 3t -9 = 81
.. t = (81 +9)/3 = 30
Todd is 30 now.
_____
You can also work this by considering "ratio units." 3 years ago, the ratio of their ages was 4:1, a difference of 3. That difference corresponds to 81 years, so each "ratio unit" represents 81/3 = 27 years. Todd's age then was 1 ratio unit, 27 years. Now, Todd's age is 30.
Answer:
x=0,05555555... or x = 3/54 or x= 1/18
Step-by-step explanation:
81x-27x-3
54x=3
The measure of angle EAC is equivalent to 50 degrees.
Answer:
BC=11
Step-by-step explanation:
we need to find BC
and we know that
AB= x+2
AC=13
BC=2x+11
A, B and C are collinear
that means that
AB+BC=AC
x+2+2x+11=13
3x+13=13
3x=0
x=0
so BC=2(0)+11
BC=11
