Answer:

30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of Ezekiel be x years

Given

Lily is 14 years older than her little brother Ezekiel

Age of Lily = x + 14 years

Next condition

after 8 years\

age of Ezekiel = x+8

age of Lily = x + 8 +14 = x + 22 years

Given

. In 8 years, Lily will be twice as old as Ezekiel will be then.

Thus,

x + 22 = 2(x+8)

=> x + 22 = 2x + 16

=> 22-16 = 2x -x

=> x = 6

Thus, age of  Ezekiel = 8 years

age of lily = 8+14 = 22 years

sum of their age = 22 + 8 = 30 years      answer.

What is 5/7 minus 1/2 equal to in like units
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

5/7 minus 1/2 is 5/7 - 1/2

5/7 and 1/2 are both called proper fractions. 5 and 1 in each fraction are called the numerator while 7 and 2 are called denominators

5/7 - 1/2

Step one

Find the lowest common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of each fractions

Multiples of 7

7 x 1 = 7

7 x 2 = 14

7 x 3 = 21

Multiples of 2

2 x 1 = 2

2 x 2 = 4

2 x 3 = 6

2 x 4 = 8

2 x 5 = 10

2 x 6 = 12

2 x 7 = 14

The lowest common multiple of 2 and 7 is 14

Step 2

The LCM of 2 and 7 becomes the common denominator for both fractions.

14/7 = 2

14/2 = 7

5/7 - 1/2 = [2(5) - 7(1)]/14 = (10 - 7)/14

= 3/14
