Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.
"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18
How old is Jim?
Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.
3a - a = 18
2a = 18
a = 9
Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.
3a
3(9)
27
Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.
Answer:
The answer is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
You just have to multiply angle BC times angle AC to have the answer because angle AB is verticle to angle BD.
The compass heading is 242.5deg
Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up all the numbers:
3,2,2,2,1,1,1,4,2,1
Then you get 19.
Or you can say it as
3^2 + 2^4 + 1^4 + 4
