Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
Twice a number increased by 5= 2x+5
5 decreased by twice a number= 5-2x
twice the difference of a number and 5= 2(x-5)
Twice the sum of a number and 5= 2(x+5)
Five subtracted from twice a number= 2x-5
Twice a number, less 5= 2x-5
Answer:
B - 11 > (w - 4)²
C - y < 3⁴
D - 5 + 9 < 5 · 9
are your correct answers
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 5x + 6 and z + 11 / 2z - 1 are equalities phrases and rest of them will be inequalities.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU
Follw me = 10 thanks
Mark as brainliest = 10 thanks
1 thanks to me = 2 thanks
This would be the equation:
Y= 5/2x+5
I hope I've helped!
