Jackson’s age was 2/5 of the age he will be 20 years from now 7 years ago. How old is Jackson now?
1 answer:
<h3>The present age of Jackson is 25 years old</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the present age of Jackson be "x"
Therefore
Jackson's age 7 years ago = x - 7
And, Jackson's age after 20 years = x + 20
From given question,
Jackson’s age was 2/5 of the age he will be 20 years from now 7 years ago
Thus present age of Jackson is 25 years old

Start by setting up a factor tree for each number.
Factor in anyway that you'd like.
At the end, circle all prime numbers.
Remember, prime numbers are numbers
with only 2 factors, 1 and the number itself.
Now write these factors in least to greatest
multiplying them separate rows.
Circle factors they have in common.
Since 3 pairs of two's match up, multiply by 2 three times to get 8.
So the GCF is 8.
