Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = -3x + 36
2x + 3x + 1 = -3x + 3x +36
5x + 1 = 36
5x + 1 - 1 = 36 - 1
5x = 35
5x/5 = 35/5
x = 7
Let Cameron be x years old now.
-
<u>Now:</u>
Cameron = x
Uncle =3x
-
<u>4 years ago:</u>
Cameron = x - 4
Uncle = 3x - 4
-
<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
-
<u>Find x:</u>
3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)
3x - 4 = 4x - 16
4x - 3x = 16 - 4
x = 12
-
<u>Find the age:</u>
Cameron = x = 12
-
Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.
Answer:
7 x 6 x 5 = 210
Step-by-step explanation:
its a combination's problem.
7 horses are eligible for first place.
6 of those are eligible for 2nd given that one of the 7 finished first.
similarly 5 of the remaining are eligible for 3rd place given 2 horses have taken the first 2 spots.
therefore 7 x 6 x 5 possible combinations = 210 combinations.
