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
need help
It's your turn now, Lovely -- or whatever you are calling yourself at this moment.
I know you can do this. Try it and we'll check your answer.
well my name is caity :) and ok so... im going with D
actually ima say A
Why would you multiply 3 times 19?
sorry reading it wrong. I wanna say A subtract the years im guessing and and add 7 years. hard to word out but I think its A
If you write down the equation as you read you will end up with the correct answer of C.
sorry just bad at math lol thanks sarah
No problem :-)
To solve this problem, let's break down the given information.
First, we know that Tim's age in 7 years will be: t + 7
Next, we're given that his age 19 years ago was three times what it is now. So, his age 19 years ago would be: 3(t)
Therefore, we can set up the equation as follows:
t + 7 = 3(t - 19)
So, the correct answer is option C.
