Andy's age            = x
Jeff's age              = x-2
Andy's age in five years            = x+5
Jeff's age in five years              = x-2+5
The sum of their ages in five years        = x+5 + x-2+5

                                       x + 5 + x - 2 + 5 = 40
                                         2x + 8 = 40
                                         <u>    -8        -8</u>
                                              2x = 32
                                             <u> :2      :2</u>
                                               x = 16
x - 2 = 14

<u>Andy is 16 years old and Jeff is 14 years old</u>

There are white, blue, and red boats in a marina. Two-thirds of the boats in the marina are white, five-eighths of the remaining
sammy [17]
X = total boats
2/3x are white....so the remaining boats = 1/3x
5/8 of the remaining boats are blue.....5/8 * 1/3 = 5/24x are blue

2/3 + 5/24 = 16/24 + 5/24 = 21/24 are blue and white......so 3/24 are red
3/24x = 6
x = 6 * 24/3
x = 144/3
x = 48 total boats in the marina <==

2/3(48) = 32 white
5/24(48) = 10 blue
3/24(48) = 6 red
