Answer:
one, (1.5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
5(2x+8)-5x=5(5x+6)
Distribute
10x+40-5x=25x+30
combine like terms
5x+40=25x+30
-5x -5x
subtract 5x from both sides
40=20x+30
-30 -30
subtract 30 from both sides
10=20x
÷20 ÷20
divide both sides by 20
1/2=x is your final answer

Answer:
Her son is 10 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let son be x
Ellie is 4x
In 5 years time: Her son = x + 5
Ellie = 4x + 5
Given that she will then be 3 times as old as her son: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)
Solve x: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5) ,4x + 5 = 3x + 15
x = 10
