27 Karim (22 years) tells his brother Ziad (8 years).
«l haven't given you a gift for your birthday, but I'll make it up to you. The year when my age will be
triple yours. I'll give you a wonderful gift».
After making his calculations, Ziad tells his brother :
It will cost you nothing». Explain why.
(solve it in an equation of 1 unknown)

Karim will never have triple age as his brother, it has happened already 1 year ago, thus he won't give him a gift

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

Let's make:

x = the number of years from now

Karim now is 22 and Ziad is 8. x years from now Karim will be

22 + x years old and Ziad will be

8 + x years old.

Karim will give Ziad a wonderful gift when:

22 + x = 3(8 + x)

22 + x = 24 + 3x

Solving:

x = -1

This means that Karim will never have triple age as his brother, it has happened already 1 year ago, thus he won't give him a gift

1.3

step-by-step explanation:

3x2=6   9x+6

bring down the 6 on both sides

6+6=12

12= 9x

divide by 9

12/9 =

1.3 =x

just pick what you think i need more time let me know if this
