Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>

Answer:
$11040
Step-by-step explanation:
first of all the question says that $4000 were earned in a year and asks for what the new vale would be after the next 3 years with a discount rate of 8%.
If 1 year=$4000,then 3 years=$12000
100%-8%=92% (this happens because there is still a remaining amount that still has a cost to it),so 12000*92%=$11040
