Answer 1

C

Explanation:

We are given

t + 3t + 2 = s + 3s, that is

4t + 2 = 4s ( subtract 4t from both sides )

2 = 4s - 4t ← factor out 4 from each term

2 = 4(s - t) ← divide both sides by 4 , thus

s - t =
`(2)/(4)` =
`(1)/(2)` → C

Answer 2

(C) 1/2

Explanation:

• s + 3s = 4s
• t + 3t = 4t

If 4s is 2 more than 4t, then:

• 4s = 2+ 4t
• 4s - 4t = 2
• 4s/4 - 4t/4 = 2/4
• s - t = 1/2

(C) is the answer
