Question

Three times Jeff's age plus 3 is Maria's age.
Maria is 48. What is Jeff's age?

Answer 1

Explanation:

According to the information given, we have the equation: 3J + 3 = Maria's age.We know that Maria's age is 48, so we can now write the equation as:3J + 3 = 48Now, let's solve for J (Jeff's age):Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:3J = 48 - 3

3J = 45Now, divide both sides by 3 to isolate J:J = 45 / 3

J = 15Therefore, Jeff is 15 years old.
