A tutor work with 3 students. The oldest student is 6 years oldder then the middle student, and the youngest student is 3 years younger than the middle student. The sum of the ages of the students is 30. How many years old is the youngest student

9 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)

O = M + 6

Y = M - 3

30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3)  ... combine like terms

30 = 3M + 3  ... subtract 3 from both sides

27 = 3M  ... divide both sides by 3

9 = M

Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26

×=23.23
