Erica age is 8 and her mother is 42. How many years time will her mother be three times as old as her daughter?
Answered already:: 9 yrs
------------------------------------
2. The sum of two consecutive odd number is 36. Find the number.
1st:: 2x-1
2nd:: 2x+1
Equation::
2x-1 + 2x+1 = 36
4x = 36
x = 9
1st: 2*9-1 = 17
2nd:: 2*9+1 = 19
-------------------
3. Randy is four times as old as Kenneth and Randy is 36 older than Kenneth . How old are they?
Equations:
R = 4K
R = K+36
-----
4K = K+36
3K = 36
Ken = 12 yrs
Randy = 4*K = 48 yrs
