Simon is 13 years old

Let x be Simon's age

Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)

Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)

distributing both sides gives

5x-20 = 3x + 6

subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

5x - 3x - 20 = 6

2x - 20 = 6

add 20 to both sides

2x = 6 + 20 = 26

divide both sides by 2

x = \frac{26}{2} = 13

Simon is 13 years old

What it the inequality for this interval? (-00, 2] u (8,00)
stepan [7]
Interval notation tells you what values where the function is defined. It’s defined all the way from negative infinity to positive 2, then there’s a gap all the way to positive 8, then we continue on to positive infinity. So x, would be literally every single number besides the number between 2 and 8. Oh and don’t forget that brackets mean included, so 2 is also a value that’s acceptable.

x is less than or equal to 2
and
x is greater than 8
