What is between 3x and 24?
X=82
it adds up to 180 so (x+6)+(x+10)=180
Answer: 26 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = current age of Louise (in years).
Then current age of James = x+6
Eight years from now, James's age = x+6+8= x+14
4 years ago, Louise's age = x-4
According to the question
x+14 = 4(x-4)
⇒ x+14 = 4x-16
⇒ 4x-x = 16+14
⇒ 3x = 30
⇒ x= 10 = current age of Louise (in years).
current age of James = 10+6 = 16 years
Sum of current ages = 16+10=26 years.
hence, the sum of the current ages is 26 years.
Answer:
Sh. 9000
Step-by-step explanation:
John : Peter = 2 : 1
John/peter = 2/1
John = 2 Peter.... (1)
Amos : John = 4:3
Amos/John = 4/3
Amos = 4/3 John.. (2)
From (1) & (2)
Amos = 4/3 * 2 Peter = 8/3 Peter.... (3)
Since,
Amos + John + Peter = 51000
Therefore,
8/3 Peter + 2peter + Peter = 51000
(8+6+3)/3 *Peter = 51000
17/3 * Peter = 51000
Peter = 51000 * 3/17
Peter = 3000 * 3
Peter = 9000
Hence, amount received by Peter is Sh. 9000.
