Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

12 and 15 are both dividable by 3 and 3 apart so if you subtract 21 by 3 than you get 18

Answer:

18 or 16.8

Step-by-step explanation:

if x=12 and y=15, this can be written as y=x+3 or y=1.25x

so  your equation becomes x+3=21 or 1.25x=21

subtract 3 from both sides, or divide by 1.25

and you get x=18 or x=16.8

Sarah is 6 years older than Amy.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem has got to be addition.

The sentence "Sarah is 6 years older than Amy." does not include any hint of subtracting, or multiplying.

A hint of multiplying in a expression would be the word 'times', like "Brandon is 6 times the age of Emily" which eliminates D.

A hint of subtraction in an expression would be the word 'less', like "Brandon is 6 less the age of Emily." which eliminates A and C.

The word 'older' indicates addition, or adding, and if it would have been subtraction, the keyword would be 'younger' because you are subtracting their age, like 19 - 11. The same goes with B, but adding.

Finally, we now know that it is B because there is no other addition choice.

I hope this helped. Please correct me if I am wrong.
