Cassandra measured her height as 63 inches. That is 6 inches less then3 times her younger brothers height. How tall is her younger brother?
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
3x-6 = 63
x = 23
Let x represent the height of Cassandra's younger brother.
According to the problem, Cassandra's height is 63 inches, which is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother's height.
Therefore, we can write the equation as:
63 = 3x - 6.
To find x, we can solve this equation:
Adding 6 to both sides of the equation:
63 + 6 = 3x - 6 + 6
69 = 3x.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
69 / 3 = 3x / 3
x = 23.
Thus, Cassandra's younger brother is 23 inches tall.
To find Cassandra's younger brother's height, we can set up an algebraic equation. Let's call Cassandra's younger brother's height "x".
According to the information given, Cassandra's height is 6 inches less than 3 times her younger brother's height, which can be represented as:
Cassandra's height = 3 * younger brother's height - 6
Since Cassandra's height is given as 63 inches, we can substitute this value into the equation:
63 = 3x - 6
Now, we can solve this equation for x, which represents Cassandra's younger brother's height.
Adding 6 to both sides of the equation, we get:
63 + 6 = 3x
Simplifying, we have:
69 = 3x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we find:
x = 69/3
Evaluating this expression, we get:
x = 23
Therefore, Cassandra's younger brother's height is 23 inches.
