Answer:

x = 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to distribute the -2:

-2(2+x) = -2x-4

Next you simplify:

x-2x = -x

Then you get all the x values on one side of the equation and everything else on the other side:

7-3x = -x-4   -->   11 = 2x

Finally, you isolate the x by dividing:

2x = 11   -->   x = 5.5

3 years ago a father was 3 times as old as his son, in five years time he will be twice as old as his son, what will be the sum
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 46 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:

Father = x - 3

son     = y - 3

Then , from the first statement :

x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )

x - 3 = 3y - 9

x     = 3y - 9 + 3

x     = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1

In five years time

father = x + 5

son = y + 5

Then , from the second statement

x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )

x + 5 = 2y + 10

x       = 2y + 10 - 5

x       = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have

3y -6 = 2y + 5

add 6 to both sides

3y = 2y + 5 + 6

subtract 2y from both sides

3y - 2y = 11

y = 11

substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(11) - 6

x = 33 - 6

x = 27

This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.

In four years time

father = 27 + 4 = 31

son = 11 + 4      = 15

sum of their ages in four years time will be

31 + 15 = 46 years
