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.

Ratio remains same

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{4}{6x-3}=\dfrac{3}{2}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 8=3(6x-3)

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 8=18x-9

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 18x=17

X/6 + 4 = 15 what does x equal? What is x?
Umnica [9.8K]
Hello there! x = 66.

x/6 + 4 = 15

This means that since 15 - 4 = 11, x/6 = 11.

Given the two numbers and a variable, we can multiply:

6 x 11 = 66

66/6 = 11

Therefore, x = 66

Hope this helps!
