Answer:

x= 6 1/2 or 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4^x-5 =8

2^2(x-5) =2^3

since the base is equal, the powers are equal

2(x-5) = 3

2x - 10 = 3

2x = 3 + 10

2x = 13

2x/2 = 13/2

x = 6 1/2 or 6.5

the sum of ages of father and his son is 60 years.if the difference between their ages is 40 years then find the age of father a
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Father's age is 50, Son's age is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y=60

X-Y= 40

Let X represent the Father's age while Y represents the Son's age;

therefore, from the two equations, the value of X is

X= 60-Y

X= 40+Y  then putting in the value of x

(40+Y) + Y= 60,

40+2Y=60

2Y=60-40 =20

Y= 10,

Now that we know the value of Y, we can get the value of x

If X+Y=60, then

X+10=60,

X=60-10,

X= 50
