Answer:  The present age of Harry is 2 years and that of Jim is 6 years.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in 4 years, Harry’s age will be the same as Jim’s age is now. In 2 years, Jim will be twice as old as Harry will be.

We are to find the present ages of Harry and Jim.

Let x and y represents the present ages of Harry and Jim respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+4=y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y+2=2(x+2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting the value of y from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

y+2=2x+4\\\\\Rightarrow x+4+2=2x+4\\\\\Rightarrow 2x-x=2\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.

From equation (i), we get

y=x+4=2+4=6.

Thus, the present age of Harry is 2 years and that of Jim is 6 years.

4.) Which equations below have no solution? Select all that apply, and justify your response with work. a.) x - 9 = 2(x - 3) + 1
Sophie [7]

Answer:  Equations (b) and (e) do not have solutions

Step-by-step explanation:  b)  The x cancels out (-10x + 35) = -10x + 318;  35 = 318???? NO.  e)  3(x + 2) + 1 = x + 2(4 + x)​;  3x + 7 = 3x + 8.  The x cancels out again.

The other s can be solved for x.
