Sam is 5
Tom is 3 times older so 3*5=15
The difference between them is 15-5=10 years
When Sam is 20 we add the difference 20+10=30, and we have Tom's age :)

This rational expression is nonequivalent. 5x / 25x^4 ; x^3 / 5x^15<br> True or false?????

It is nonequivalent. Figure it out this way. Think about what number has to be multiplied by both the numerator and the denominator of $\frac{5x}{25x^4}$ to get to $\frac{x^3}{5x^15}$ . It has to be the samee number for the one expression to be equivalent to the other. To get from 5x to x^3, we have to multiply by 1/5x^2. When we do that we get x^3. Good. Now we have to multiply the denominator by the same thing, 1/5x^2. $25x^4(\frac{1}{5}x^2)=5x^6$ . As you can see, they are not equivalent.
