Carl's age is three more than two times Lindsay's age. Carl is 39 years old. How old is Lindsay? Let L=Lindsay's age in years. Write the equation that represents this problem. Explain how you used math to write the equation.

(39 x 2) + 3 = 81

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use math by multiplying 39 by 2 then adding 3 to get 81.

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
