Ja + 3 = Jr
Je = 3 Ja
Je = Jr + 11
substituting ... 3 Ja = Ja + 3 + 11
solve for Ja , then substitute back to find Je and Jr
Je = 3 Ja
Je = Jr + 11
substituting ... 3 Ja = Ja + 3 + 11
solve for Ja , then substitute back to find Je and Jr
henry2,
Jenifer = X.
Jessica = x-3.
Jackie = 3x-9.
3x-9 - x = 11
X = 10.
x-3 =
3x-9 = 3*10-9 =
Jessica = x-3.
Jackie = 3x-9.
3x-9 - x = 11
X = 10.
x-3 =
3x-9 = 3*10-9 =
