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!

How do you find the area of the missing side
Margaret [11]

Lets use a rectangle as the example because I dont know what kind of shape you're looking for.

Area of a rectangle = length * width

Length (l) = 62

Width (w) = x

Area = 744

744 = 62 * x

Divide both sides by 62

744/62 = 12

12 = x

That means the width would equal 12

12 * 62 = 744

Solve the Equation |x-8|=16
choli [55]
|x-8| = 16
⇒ x-8= 16 or x-8= -16
⇒ x= 16+ 8 or x= -16+ 8
⇒ x= 24 or x= -8

Final answer: x= 24 or x= -8~
