Answer:
3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write three minus the difference of a number and one equals one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four as an equation.
Let the number be n.
The first part is: three minus the difference of a number and one:
3 - (n - 1)
The second part is: one-half of the difference of three times the same number and four:
1/2(3n - 4)
Now, let us equate the first and second parts:
3 - (n - 1) = 1/2(3n - 4)
PS: I really do not understand the options
Ashley starts with 45 comics.
So in the first box:
x = 0, y = 45
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each month, she adds 5 comic books to her collection
x (+1), y (+5) (for each month).
First month.
x = 0
y = 45
Second month
x = 1
y = 45 (+5) = 50
Third month
x = 2
y = 50 (+5) = 55
etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B) is your best choice, as for every month add (+1), the comic books increase by 5 respectively.

hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Ishaan is 49 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Christopher be 'C'.
Let the present age of Ishaan be 'I'.
From the given data, we can form equations which will help us solve the problem.
Christopher is 20 years younger than Ishaan. This means:
C = I - 20 . . . (1)
Fourteen years ago, Ishaan would have been (I -14) years old and Christopher (C - 14) years old.
From the data, I - 14 = 3(C - 14) . . . (2)
Substituting the value of C in Equation 2, we get:
I - 14 = 3(I - 20 - 14)
⇒ I - 14 = 3(I - 34)
⇒ I - 14 = 3I - 112
⇒ 2I = 112 + 14 = 98
⇒ I = 49
So, Ishaan is 49 years old.
