Jonathan's age is one-third belinda's age now. in 12 years, belinda will be m years old. a) write an algebraic expression to represent belinda's age now. b) write an algebraic expression to represent jonathan's age 5 years from now. c) if m = 36, what will jonathan's age be 5 years from now? d) explain how you found the answers.

Jonathan's age 5 years from now is 13 years

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

a) In 12 years, Belinda will be m years old.

Belinda age now = m - 12

b) Jonathan's age is one-third Belinda's age now

Jonathan age now = (1/3) * (m - 12) = (m - 12)/3

Jonathan's age 5 years from now = (m - 12)/3  + 5

c) m = 36:

Jonathan's age 5 years from now = (36 - 12)/3  + 5 = 13 years

Jonathan's age 5 years from now is 13 years
