Question

Write the given sentence as an equation. Tim’s age in 7 years will be three times what it was 19 years ago.
A. 3(t + 7) = t – 19
B. t + 19 = 3(t – 7)
C. t + 7 = 3(t – 19)
D. 3(t + 19) = t – 7

Answer 1

the answer is C

Answer 2

I think it is C

Answer 3

It's B!

Why, C is incorrect..
example:
lets say he's 20 now..
t=20
t + 7= 3(t-19)
20+ 7 = 3(20-19)
27= 3(1)
27= 3, which isnt correct..
So, i dont think its C

Its B
example:
t=20
t + 19 = 3(t – 7)

20+19 = 3(20-7)
39 = 3(13)
39 = 39, which is correct!
