2 Solve the following equations by inspection. 4

(a) y 8 11 (a) 3 + 8 = 11
(b) h 13 78 Therefore y 3
(c) 3r 18 (b) 91 13 = 78

11 Lucia is 3 years older than her sister Melissa. If Let Melissas age = t. 3
the sum of their ages is 37, how old is Lucia? Therefore Lucias age = t + 3

t + t + 3 = 37
2t + 3 = 37

<Insert flowchart here Fig 6.1 TA>

t = 17
If Melissa is 17, then Lucia must be
17 + 3 = 20.
Lucia is 20 years old.
12 Three consecutive numbers add up to 54. What Let the lowest number be represented by h. 5
are the three numbers?
h + h + 1 + h + 2 = 54
3h + 3 = 54
<Insert flowchart here Fig 6.2 TA>
h = 17
The three numbers are 17, 18 and 19.
