Let's say Jackson's age now is x.

In 20 years, (so 20+x), Jackson seven years ago will be 2/5ths of that age.

So 2/5(20+x)=x-7

Then you solve the equation
8+2/5x=x-7
15=3/5x
x=25
Jackson is 25 years old. 

Let's check our answer! In 20 years, Jackson will be 45. 7 years ago, he was 18. 2/5 of 45 is 18. Our answer is correct!

Andre and Diego were each trying to solve 2x+6=3x-8. Describe the first step they each make to the equation.
Vlad [161]
First combine like terms so
2x+6=3x-8
3x - 2x =1X
-6 - -8= -14
1X ÷ -14
then just divide
