HELP ASAP! AGE PROBLEM!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>The present age of the mother is 30 years old</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of Jane = x

Age of Billy = 5x (Billy is five times as old as Jane)

Age of Sara = 15x (Their mother is now three times as old as Billy)

In 2 years Sara will be eight times as old as Jane, therefore:

15x + 2 = 8 (x + 2)

15x + 2 = 8x + 16

15x - 8x = 16 - 2

7x = 14

x = 14/7

x = 2 ⇒ 5x = 10x ⇒ 15x = 30

Jane's present age is 2, Billy's present age is 10 and Sara's present age is 30

<u>The present age of the mother is 30 years old</u>

Do you divide or multiply for w in the equation A = lw
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

This looks like the equation for the area of a rectangle.

Area = Lenght * Width

Given that the "l" variable and the "w" variable or next to each other without '/' or '\' , then we can safely say this a multiplication operation.

If there is no symbol between variables, it is assumed to be short-hand for multiplication instead of writing '*', '.', or 'x' in-between the variables.

Cheers.
