Answer:

3 years old is Joshua.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represents the age of Grandpa Collins and x represents the age of grandson Joshua.

As per the given statement: Grandpa Collins is 2 years more than 25 times as his grandson Joshua.

"25 times as his grandson Joshua" means 25x

"2 years more than 25 times as his grandson Joshua" means 25x +2

⇒ y = 25x + 2                   ......[1]

Also, it is given : Grandpa Collins is 77 years old

⇒ y = 77 years

Substitute y =77 in [1] to solve for x;

77 = 25x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides of an equation:

77 -2 =25x+2 -2

Simplify:

75 = 25x

Divide both sides by 25, we get;

\frac{75}{25} =\frac{25x}{25}

Simplify:

3 = x

Therefore, the age of Joshua is, 3 years old.

What two numbers have a sum of 215 and a difference of 137
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = big number

let you = small number

x + y = 215-------> (1)

x - y = 137 ------>(2)

(1)

x = 215 - y ----->(1)

substitute 1 into 2

215 - y -y = 137

-2 y = 78

y = 39

substitute y = 39 into (1)

x = 215 - (39)

x = 176

thus the numbers are 176 & 39

hope this helps
