Answer 7

@frebrezze Let Brad be 'B' and let Terry be 'T'.
You basically have 2 equations. For starters, this might tell you to solve simultaneous equation, where
1. B=3T
2. B+T=60

You can use substitution, where you make one of the variables the subject and put it in the other one. The 1. equation already has B as the subject. Hence we put it on 2.
That will be\[3T+T=60\rightarrow4T=60\rightarrow T=15\]
Now, you replace the result from 2. to 1.
That will be \[B=3(15)=45\]
