Answer 2

1) given x+3x=52
means x=13
hence their ages are 13 and 39 respectively

Answer 3

2) here x+(2x+5) =65
or 3x=60
or x=20
their ages are 20 and 45 respectively

Answer 4

Find three consecutive integers such that the sum of the second and the third is 17. Which equation would be used to solve this word problem?
a.)x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 17
b.)(x + 1) + (x + 2) = 17
c.)x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 17
d.)2(x + 2) + 3(x + 4) = 17

The sum of three consecutive integers is 108. Which equation would be used to solve this word problem? (HINT: The equation has been simplified some.)
a.)3x + 3 = 108
b.)3x = 108
c.)3(x+3) = 108
d.)3x + 1 = 108
