X+8: James' age in 8 years
x+10+8: Joe's age in 8 years
2(x+10+8)=3(x+8)
2x+36=3x+24
x=12
James=12 years old
Joe=22 years old

Answer:

James is 12 years old

Joe is 22 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe is 10 years older than James. In 8 years, twice Joe's age will equal three times James's age.

LEt x be the age of James

x+10 be the age of Joe

In 8 years,  James age becomes x+8

In 8 years, Joe's age becomes x+10+8 = x+18

Twice Joe's age is equal to 3 times of James's age

2(x+18)= 3(x+8)

2x+ 36=3x+24

Subtract 2x from both sides and subtract 24 from both sides

x=12

James is 12 years old

Joe is x+10 = 22 years old

Which operation will cancel out division?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The operation that will cancel out division is multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

\frac{2+5x}{2} \\

*in order to solve for x, and get the upper equation without division, you must multiply by the negative reciprocal*

2*(\frac{2+5x}2} )

4+10x\\

*to get x alone, we must subtract 4 from both sides*

10x = -4\\\\-4 / 10 = - 2/5

x=- 2/5

How to solve by the square root property
nata0808 [166]
First, you want to divide both sides by 3 to isolate your variable. You get x^2 = 9. The square root of x^2 and 9 equals x = 3. 

x = 3 is your answer.

A 15 ft. Ladder is placed against a building so that the distance from the top of the ladder to the ground is 10 ft. Find the di
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

  11.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the building meets the ground at right angles, the right triangle formed has side length 10 ft and hypotenuse 15 ft. Then the other side length (d) is given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² + 10² = 15²

  d² = 225 -100 = 125

  d = √125 = 5√5 ≈ 11.2 . . . feet

The bottom of the ladder is about 11.2 feet from the building
