Answer:
1. 15 (A)
2. 12 (G)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We can make an equation out of this...
3x+3=48
x is the age of Geoff which is what we are trying to find out
We have to add 3 to both sides of the equation
3x+3=48
-3 -3
________
we end up with 3x=45
we then have to divide 3 by both sides because its the opposite of
multipling
3x=45
_____
3
we get x=15
2. We can write a problem statement
(2 x 9)-6=?
multiply 2 and 9 FIRST
18-6=?
your answer is 12
