Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
The area of a regular polygon<span> is given by the formula which is expressed as:
</span>area = (½)(apothem<span>)(perimeter)
</span>
We calculate as follows:
area = (½)(7<span>)(7.2 x 5)
</span>area = 126 square units
Hope this answers the question.
7+3t -t
------- = ----- is the relevant equation here. We don't ask, "What is 7+3t over
4 8 -t over 8," but rather "Solve the following equation for t."
Cross multiplying, 56 + 24t = -4t
-56
Then: 28t = 56, and t = ------ = -2 (answer)
28
The solution to "<span>What is 7+3t over 4 = -t over 8" is t = -2.</span>
1/8
3 divide by 3=1
24 divide by 3= 8
which gives you 1/8
