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>

A child building a tower with Blocks uses 15 for the bottom row. Each row has 2 fewer blocks than the previous row. What formula
xenn [34]

Answer:

B)blocks in 5th row=15+(5-1)(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Number of block in bottom row=15

Each row has 2 fewer blocks than the previous row

We have to find the formula would you use to find the number of blocks in the 5th row.

Number of blocks in  second row=15-2=15+1(-2)

Number of blocks in third row=15-2-2=15+2(-2)

Number of blocks in 4th row=15-2-2-2=15+3(-2)

Number of blocks in 5th row=15-2-2-2-2=15+4(-2)

Therefore, number of block in 5th row

15+(5-1)(-2)

This is required formula to find the number of blocks in the 5th row

Hence, option B is true.

B)blocks in 5th row=15+(5-1)(-2)

What is the solution to this equation?
joja [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8 - 2x + 6x = 24 , that is

8 + 4x = 24 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 4 → A
