Fred's age is 13 years
Let
Fred's age = x
Jack's age = 2x + 4
After 8 years:
- Fred's age = x + 8
- Jack's age = 2x + 4 + 8
= 2x + 12
Sum of their ages = Fred's age + Jack's age
59 = (x + 8) + (2x + 12)
59 = x + 8 + 2x + 12
59 = 3x + 20
59 - 20 = 3x
39 = 3x
x = 39/3
x = 13 years
Therefore, Fred's age = 13 years

Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
You move all terms that don't contain x to the right side and solve.
3x-6=18
3x=24
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x=reams
128+20x=258
Subtract 128 from both sides.
20x=130
Now divide by 20 on both sides to get x alone.
130/20=6.5
So your answer is B! $6.50
The answer for both is a circle
