A) The equation will be x + 4x + x + 10 = 82 B) Paul's age is 12, Rebecca's age is 48 and Gemma's age is 22.
Step-by-step explanation:
We will represent Paul's age by the equation p= x where p is Paul
We will represent Rebecca's age by the equation r = 4x Where r is Rebecca
We will represent Gemma's age by the equation g = x + 10 where g is also Gemma's age.
We given that the sum of their ages is 82 years so meaning that x + 4x + x + 10 has to equal 82.
A) The equation will be x + 4x + x + 10 = 82
Solve for the x equation to find Paul age because his age is x.
B) (x) + (4x) + (x+10) = 82 combine like terms on the left side
6x + 10 = 82
-10 -10
6x = 72
x= 12
Paul age is 12.
r= 4(12)
r = 48
Rebecca's age is 48.
g= 12 +10
g= 22
Gemma's age is 22.
