The combination of Wendell and Maggie’s ages is 33. Wendell’s age is 3 less than 3 times the age of Maggie. How old is Wendell?

Wendell is 24 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

First write an equation to represent the situation.

x=Maggie's age

x+(3x-3)=33

Then solve for x

x+3x-3=33

4x-3=33

4x-3+3=33+3

4x=36

4x/4=36/4

x=9

Then solve for Wendell's age

y=Wendell's age

y=3x-3

y=3(9)-3

y=27-3

y=24

Wendell is 24 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
