natali 33 [55]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentences 'Spencer is 32 years younger than Jennifer' can be modeled by x = y-32 (x representing spencer's age and y representing Jennifer's). The sentence '3 years ago, Jennifer's age was 3 times Spencer's age' can be modeled by the equation x-3 = 1/3(y-3). Solving the second equation for y gives you y = 3x-6. Substitute into the first equation to get x = (3x - 6) - 32. Solve for x, which represents Spencer's age, to get x = 17

Why is 1/2 and 1/3 similar? Thank you!

1/2 and 1/3 are similar because 3/6 and 2/6 are similar. They are so close but not the same.
