Answer:

27 years

Step-by-step explanation:

In three years, Tom will be 57 + 3 = <em>60 years old</em>.

Since Tom will be twice as old as James at that time, then James will be half his age, or 60/2 = <em>30 years old</em>.

If James is going to be 30 years old in three years, then he is 27 years old now.

Answer: 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom is 57 now. In 3 years he will be 60, but also twice as old as his son. 1/2 of 60 is 30. 30 minus the 3 years that hasn’t happened yet equals 27.

The sum of a two digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. If the two digits differ by 2, find th
damaskus [11]

Answer:

A two-digit number can be written as:

a*10 + b*1

Where a and b are single-digit numbers, and a ≠ 0.

We know that:

"The sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132."

then:

a*10 + b*1 + (b*10 + a*1) = 132

And we also know that the digits differ by 2.

then:

a = b + 2

or

a =  b - 2

So let's solve this:

We start with the equation:

a*10 + b*1 + (b*10 + a*1) = 132

(a*10 + a) + (b*10 + b) = 132

a*11 + b*11 = 132

(a + b)*11 = 132

(a + b) = 132/11 = 12

Then:

a + b = 12

And remember that:

a = b + 2

or

a = b - 2

Then if we select the first one, we get:

a + b = 12

(b + 2) + b = 12

2*b + 2 = 12

2*b = 12 -2 = 10

b = 10/2 = 5

b = 5

then a = b + 2= 5 + 2 = 7

The number is 75.

And if we selected:

a = b - 2, we would get the number 57.

Both are valid solutions because we are changing the order of the digits, so is the same:

75 + 57

than

57 + 75.
