Let "x" represent the age of Brian.

Andrew is elder than Brian by 2 years, we can symbolize his age as "x+2"

Frank is twice as old as Andrew, we can symbolize his age as "2(x+2)"

Sarah has half the age of Brian's, we can symbolize her age as "x/2"

Frank ans Sarah's ages differ by 40 years, we can symbolize this as:

2(x+2)-\frac{x}{2}=40

Solve the term is parenthesis

\begin{gathered} 2x+4-\frac{1}{2}x=40 \\ 2x-\frac{1}{2}x+4=40 \\ \frac{3}{2}x=40-4 \\ \frac{3}{2}x=36 \\ x=24 \end{gathered}

x=24 years

Andrew's age is

x+2=24+2=26

Andrew is 26 years old

Which numbers have a digit in the ones place that is 1/10 the value of the digit in the tens place
liq [111]

Answer:

4,099  and 5,011

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by taking options one by one.

Option (1) : 4,099  

Digit in ones place = 9

The value of the digit in tens place = 90

\dfrac{9}{90}=\dfrac{1}{10}. It is correct.

Option (2) : 4,110

Digit in one places = 0

The value of the digit in tens place = 10

It is incorrect.

Option (3) : 5,909

Digit in one places = 9

The value of the digit in tens place = 0

It is again incorrect.

Option (4) : 5,011

Digit in one places = 1

The value of the digit in tens place = 10

\dfrac{1}{10}. It is correct.

Hence, in option (a) and (d), the he ones place is 1/10 the value of the digit in the tens place.

Answer: D) 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x)
f(x) = 1/2x - 3
g(x) = -5/2x + 2

Using the values of f(x) and g(x) gives us the equation:
1/2x - 3 - (-5/2x +2)

By distributing the negative sign, the signs on 5/2 and 2 are flipped, making them positive and negative respectively.

Our new equation is:

1/2x -3 + 5/2x -2
Adding up like numbers gives us:

6/2x - 5

Simplifying 6/2x => 3x

So our final equation is:

3x - 5
Hope this helps!
