The answer is .0083333333
Honestly i am in advanced math an even i dont understand
Michael's present age is 53
Step-by-step
17-4=13
John is 13
than when John will be 49
u add 4 to 49
4+49=53
so Michael is 53 because he is 4 years older :)
So we factor 12
remember that (-) times (-)=(+)
and
(-)+(-)=(-) so therefor the factors must be negative
factor 12
2,2,3
we have
-2 times -6 which adds to -8
-3 times -4 wihch adds to -7
the numbers are -3 and -4
