Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! n + n + 1 + n + 2 - 93
combine like terms to get:
3n + 3 = 93
subtract 3 from both sides of the equation to get:
3n = 90
solve for n to get:
n = 90/3 = 30
the 3 numbers are 30, 31, 32.
their sum is 93.
f = 5s
f - s = 36
f is the father's age.
s is the son's age.
from the second equation, solve for f to get:
f = s + 36
replace f in the first equation with s + 36 to get:
s + 36 = 5s
subtract s from both sides of the equation to get:
36 = 4s
solve for s to get:
s = 36/4 = 9
the son is 9.
the father is 9 + 36 = 45.
f = 5x becomes 45 = 5*9 which becomes 45 = 45, confirming the value of f and s in this equation is true.
f - s = 36 becomes 45 - 9 = 36, confirming the value of f and s in this equation is also true,
the answer is confirmed to be good.
the solution is that the son is 9 years old now.
jane has 3782 apples for sale.
fruits and veggies has 30672 more apples for sale than jane = 3782 + 30672 = 34454.
together they have 3782 + 34454 = 38236 apples for sale.
