Are u in a middle of a test right now or something
Answer:
Let the present age of the man be x years.
Age of the man 15 years ago =(x−15) years and
Age of the man 15 years later =(x+15) years
According to the given condition, we have
(x+15)=2(x−15)
⇒x+15=2x−30
⇒x−2x=−30−15
⇒−x=−45 or x=45 years
Hence, the present age of the man is 45 years.

Answer:
A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...
(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)
Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...
x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0
Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...
x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A
___
You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.
The sum of angles on a straight line is 180°.
( R ) and ( 2x + 5 ) are both on the same straight line.
Therefore:
Equation No. 1 -
R + 2x + 5 = 180
R = 180 - 2x - 5
R = 175 - 2x
Vertically opposite angles are equivalent to each other.
( R ) is vertically opposite ( 3x + 15 ).
Therefore:
Equation No. 2 -
R = 3x + 15
Substitute the value of ( R ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( x )
R = 3x + 15
175 - 2x = 3x + 15
- 2x - 3x = 15 - 175
- 5x = - 160
x = - 160 / - 5
x = 160 / 5
x = 32
Next we will substitute the value of ( x ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( R ).
Equation No. 2 -
R = 175 - 2x
R = 175 - 2 ( 32 )
R = 175 - 64
R = 111
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, the answer is:
R = 111
x = 32
