Answer:

The value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation, ax=bx+1

On simplifying, we get,

ax=bx+1

i.e. ax-bx=1

i.e. (a-b)x=1

i.e. x=\frac{1}{a-b}

So, we get,

The value of x is \frac{1}{a-b}.

That is, the value of x is reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

The equation ax = bx + 1 is the same as x = 1/(a  - b) when solved for x. This means that x is equal to the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.

The average age of 6 men is 35 years and
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

39.50

42.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of the 2 men = sum of the ages of the 6 men - sum of the ages of the 4 men

Average = sum of ages / total number of men

35 = sum of ages / 6

sum of ages = 35 x6 = 210

32 = sum of ages / 4

32 x 4 = sum of ages

128

210 - 128 = 82

age of the younger man = x

age of the older man = 3 + x

x + 3 + x = 82

2x + 3 = 82

2x = 82 - 3

2x = 79

x = 79/2 = 39.5

older man = 39.5 + 3 = 42.50
