Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation 4x+8=16. we are asked to find the value of x that makes our given equation true.

Let us solve our given equation for x using opposite operations.

Subtract 8 from both sides:

4x+8-8=16-8

4x=8

Divide both sides by 4:

\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}

x=2

Therefore, x=2 is the solution for our given equation.

Let us verify our answer:

4x+8=16

4(2)+8=16

8+8=16

16=16

Both sides are equal. Hence proven x=2 is solution for our given equation.

URGENT PLEASE I NEED HELP AND KINDLY SHOW THE SOLUTION/S AS WELL :))

Answer:

1. Steve's age is 18 and Anne's age is 8.

2. Max's age is 17 and Bert's age is 11.

3. Sury's age is 19 and Billy's age is 9.

4. The man's age is 30 and his son's age is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let us assume that:

S = Steve's age now

A = Anne's age now

Therefore, in four years, we have:

S + 4 = (A + 4)2 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 8 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 6 .................. (1)

Three years ago, we have:

S - 3 = (A - 3)3

S - 3 = 3A - 9 ................................ (2)

From equation (2), we have:

S = 3A - 9 + 3

S = 3A – 6 …………. (3)

Substitute S from equation (3) into equation (1) and solve for A, we have:

3A – 6 + 4 = 2A + 6

3A – 2A = 6 + 6 – 4

A = 8

Substitute A = 8 into equation (3), we have:

S = (3 * 8) – 6

S = 24 – 6

S = 18

Therefore, Steve's age is 18 while Anne's age is 8.

2. Let us assume that:

M = Max's age now

B = Bert's age now

Therefore, five years ago, we have:

M - 5 = (B - 5)2

M - 5 = 2B - 10 .......................... (4)

A year from now, we have:

(M + 1) + (B + 1) = 30

M + 1 + B + 1 = 30

M + B + 2 = 30 .......................... (5)

From equation (5), we have:

M = 30 – 2 – B

M = 28 – B …………………… (6)

Substitute M from equation (6) into equation (4) and solve for B, we have:

28 – B – 5 = 2B – 10

28 – 5 + 10 = 2B + B

33 = 3B

B = 33 / 3

B = 11

Substituting B = 11 into equation (6), we have:

M = 28 – 11

M = 17

Therefore, Max's age is 17 while Bert's age is 11.

3. Let us assume that:

S = Sury's age now

B = Billy's age now

Therefore, now, we have:

S = B + 10 ................................ (7)

Next year, we have:

S + 1 = (B + 1)2

S + 1 = 2B + 2 .......................... (8)

Substituting S from equation (7) into equation (8) and solve for B, we have:

B + 10 + 1 = 2B + 2

10 + 1 – 2 = 2B – B

B = 9

Substituting B = 9 into equation (7), we have:

S = 9 + 10

S = 19

Therefore, Sury's age is 19 while Billy's age is 9.

4. Let us assume that:

M = The man's age now

S = His son's age now

Therefore, now, we have:

M = 3S ................................... (9)

Five years ago, we have:

M - 5 = (S - 5)5

M - 5 = 5S - 25 ................ (10)

Substituting M from equation (9) into equation (10) and solve for S, we have:

3S - 5 = 5S – 25

3S – 5S = - 25 + 5

-2S = - 20

S = -20 / -2

S = 10

Substituting S = 10 into equation (9), we have:

M = 3 * 10

M = 30

Therefore, the man's age is 30 and his son's age is 10.
