Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, the catch of this question is that they do a very good job of explaining Maria's age in terms of George's age, but they leave George's age in terms of Maria's all up to you.

First start off by doing an expression of what they explicitly give you. Maria's age in terms of George's age.

Let's use variables g, representing George's age and m representing Maria's age

m = 2g + 3

Okay, this is all dandy and all, but they ask us for George's age in terms of Maria's, so we need to isolate for g.

subtract the 3 from both sides, like so:

m - 3 = 2g

then divide 2 from both sides: (remember we're dividing the whole thing)

(m-3)/2 = g

Now we have an expression for George's age in terms of Maria's.

g = (m-3)/2 or g = \frac{m-3}{2}

The answer that gives us this, is C.

<span>Example: x − 2 = 4</span>

When we put 6 in place of x we get:

6 − 2 = 4

which is true

So x = 6 is a solution.

The first and second year’s sales for a company were $328,000 and $565,000. The expenses for the first year were $117,000. The c

As a disclaimer, I can't say I'm completely confident in this answer. Use at own risk.

Formulas:

Year 1: 328,000 (sales) - 117,000 (expense) = 211,000 (profit)

Year 2: 565,000 (sales) - x (expense) = y (profit)

Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000

Math

211,000 (profit y1) + 565,000 (sales y2) = 776,000

776,000 - 113,000 (net profit) = -663,000 (expenses)

Confirm:

Net Profit: 211,000 + y = 113,000 (listed in formulas, just a reminder)

Plug in: 565,000 (y2 sales) - 663,000 (our solution) = -98,000

211,000 (y1 net) + -98,000 (our plug in) = 113,000 (2 year net profit given to us)
