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.

383 - 360 = 23
you'll have a remainder of 23

(Quick please ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help me!!!!! find the surface area of the rectangular prism!!!!!! thank you
Aleks [24]
You can do this !

The rectangular prism has

                   -- length = 10 cm
                   -- width  =  7 cm
                   -- height =  3 cm.

-- The area of the top and bottom is  (length x width)  each.

-- The area of the left and right sides is  (length x height)  each.

-- The area of the front and back is  (width x height)  each.

There.  I just laid out all the schmartz you need to answer this question.
The rest is all simple arithmetic, and you're perfectly capable of turning
the crank and getting the answer.  You don't need anybody else to do
that part for you.

Don't forget your units.  The area of each flat face is (cm) times (cm),
and that product will be some cm² , for area.
