X = Heather's age NOW
x - 2 = her age 2 years ago
x - 3 = her age 3 years ago

\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+\frac{1}{3}(x-3)=20

The Least Common Multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.  Multiply both sides by 6.

6\cdot\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+6\cdot\frac{1}{3}=6\cdot20 \\3(x-2)+2(x-3)=120 \\ 3x-6+2x-6=120 \\ 5x-12=120 \\ 5x=132 \\ x=\frac{132}{5}=26.4

If you read can read 40 pages in 2 hours, how many pages can you read in 5 hours?
Pavlova-9 [17]
You can read 100 pages in 5 hours.

40 pages in 2 hours. We need to get the unit rate. In this case, we need to get the number of pages read in 1 hour.

40 pages ÷ 2 hours = 20 pages per hour.

20 pages per hours * 5 hours = 100 pages.
