Answer:
31.11
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify the expression
Bill's age = x
Eya's age = 3x - 5
Eya is 28
28 = 3x - 5
28 (+5) = 3x -5 (+5)
33 = 3x
33/3 = 3x/3
x = 11
Bill = x
x = 11
Bill is 11 years old
hope this helps
We can solve this by finding one of the numbers first
Let the smaller number be y.
Since these 2 numbers are consecutive odd numbers, the larger number should be 2 more than the smaller one (y+2).
Therefore,
y + (y+2) = 284
2y +2 = 284
shift +2 to the other side and turn it into -2
2y = 284 - 2
2y = 282
shift x2 to the other side and turn it into /2
y = 282/2
y = 141
Now we got the smaller number, which is 141, we can also find the larger number by adding 2 to it. 141+2 = 143,
Therefore, your answer is 141 and 143
