2. Jim is three years older than twice Bill’s age now. If the sum of their ages is 42, how old is Bill? 42 + Jim Bill = Jim = 3 + 2b b ( ) + 2b 3 + 42 = b Bill = 42 3b + 3 = 39 = 3b 13 yrs old & 29 yrs old
X 3. The tortoise and the hare decided to race. The tortoise left the starting line at 6 am. The hare didn’t begin until 10 am. When he started, he ran 4 mph faster than the tortoise and caught him at 10:30 am. How fast was each going? t mph ? mph 4.5 hours ? hours Tortoise (t + 4) mph .5 hours ? hours ? mph Hare (t + 4) 4.5 t .5 =
Solving the Equation X 4.5 t = .5 (t + 4) 2 4.5 t .5t + = 2 4t = t ½ 2/4 mph =
