Let us say that:
K = age of Kristen
B = age of Ben
From the problem, we make the equations:
eqtn 1: K + B = 32
eqtn 2: (K – 4) = 2 (B – 4)
Simplifying eqtn 2:
K – 4 = 2 B – 8
K = 2 B – 4
Plugging in this to eqtn 2:
(2 B – 4) + B = 32
3 B – 4 = 32
3 B = 36
B = 12
From eqtn 2:
K = 2 B – 4 = 2 (12) – 4 = 20
So Kristen is 20 while Ben is 12.
Could i see a picture please

Hope it helps :)
No he is not, 10*0.13=1.3, so 5*0.13=0.65
If T and V are complementary angles, their sum is 90°.
V + T = 90°
48° + (2X+10)° = 90° . . . . . . . substitute given information
2X + 58 = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . .. collect terms
2X = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. subtract 58
X = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. divide by 2
The value of X is 16.
