Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the currently  age of Max.

Let x be the current age of Max and y be the current age of Zeke.

According to question

2(x-3)+y=26

Current age of Zeke=8 years old

Then substitute the value

2x-6+8=26

2x+2=26

2x=26-2=24

x=\frac{24}{2}=12

Hence, the current age of Max=12 years old

Let m be max's age
Let z be zekes age
2m+z=26
Sub in zekes age
2m+8=26
2m=26-8
2m=18
M=18/2
M=9
Remember: this is Max's age THREE YEARS AGO. Therefore, add three to get his current age
9+3=12
Therefore, Max is currently 12
Hope this helps!

Why is ac smaller than ad if they both look very close
kakasveta [241]

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

We start out by observing that Triangles MKR & ACD are similar or proportional

\begin{gathered} MK=21;AC=\text{?} \\ MR=24;AD=28\frac{4}{5} \\ KR=CD=\text{?} \end{gathered}

We will solve for the missing side by using the similar triangle theorem. This is shown below:~

\begin{gathered} \Delta MKR\approx\Delta ACD \\ \frac{MK}{AC}=\frac{MR}{AD} \\ \frac{21}{AC}=\frac{24}{28\frac{4}{5}} \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ 24\cdot AC=28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21 \\ AC=\frac{28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21}{24}=25\frac{1}{5} \\ AC=25\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}

The original price of a bicycle was marked down $20 to a sale price of $85. What was the original price ⁉️
vovikov84 [41]
The price was marked down. If the price was reduced, we have to sum with the other value to find the original price:

85 + 20 = \boxed {105}

The original price was $105.
