Answer:

8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of father be f

age of John be j

age of Alice be a

John's father is 5 times as old as John. We can write:

f = 5j

John is twice as old as Alice. We can write:

j = 2a

or

a = j/2

SUM OF ALL OF THEIR AGES (after 2 years) will be 58. We can write:

f+2 + j+2 + a+2 = 58

This becomes:

f + j + a + 6 = 58

f + j + a = 52

Now, we replace third equation with the first two (in bold) and get:

f + j + a = 52\\5j + j + \frac{1}{2}j=52\\6.5j=52\\j=8

So John is 8 years old

Joe's canoe charges an initial fee of $20 plus $4 an hour. Callie's canoe charges a flat rate of $14 an hour find the number of
irinina [24]
Initial fee charged by Joe's canoe = $20
Hourly charge of Joe's canoe = $4
Hourly charge of Callie's canoe = $14
No initial fee is taken by Callie's canoe.
Let us assume the number of hours after which both places charges will be the same = x hours
Then
20 + 4x = 14x
20 = 14x - 4x
20 = 10x
x = 20/10
   = 2
So after 2 hours the charges taken by both of them will be the same. I hope the procedure is easy and clear enough for you to understand.
