First, let us define our variables.

Let

x = age of the father

y = age of the son

z = age of the daughter

 

5 years ago..

(x – 5) = age of the father

(y – 5) = age of the son

(z – 5) = age of the daughter

 

After 18 years...

(x + 18) = age of the father

(y + 18) = age of the son

(z +18) = age of the daughter

 

From the first condition

y = z + 5 à eqn 1

5 years ago

(x-5) = 23 + (y-5) + (z-5)

x –y –z = 18 à eqn 2

after 18 years

(x+18) = 17*[(y +18 –z – 18)]

x – 17y + 17z = -18 à eqn 3

 

solving the 3 equations simultaneously

x = 67

y = 27

z = 22

Solve the Equation p+5/8=15/16?
Sphinxa [80]
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get: 
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
