Example Question #47 : Equations
You must first use the distributive property to solve this problem.
Find the value of the variable
First distribute the 3 over to the terms inside the parantheses. You should get the following value
Second subtract 12 on both sides of the equation,
Then isolate the variable "a" by dividing both sides by 3,
You can check your answer by inserting 4 into the original equation and solve the equation.
Example Question #48 : Equations
A mother takes her three children to the doctor for their yearly checkup. During the checkup, the nurse asks to see the children in order of increasing age. Based on the following information, which child will the nurse see first?
- Zach and Paul have combined ages of 15.
- Paul and Anna have combined ages of 16.
- Anna and Zach have combined ages of 17.
None of these answers
Zach
Anna
All three children are the same age.
Paul
Paul
Based on the information provided in the question, the nurse will see the youngest child first. To determine which child is youngest, the ages of all children must be found. The three lines of information can be converted to equations using Z = Zach, P = Paul, and A = Anna.
Isolate Z in the first equation by subtracting P from both sides of the equal sign. Use the newly found relationship in equation 3 and simplify as necessary.
A or P can be isolated, similar to above, as both variables appear in equation 2. Plug the isolated equation in equation 2 and again simplify as necessary. For this explanation A has been solved for.
This means that Paul is 7 years old. Plug this information into the original equation.
So, Paul is 7 years old, Zach is 8 years old, and Anna is 9 years old; therefore, Paul will be seen by the nurse first.
