Hi,
Let the
Youngest brothers age = x+2
Middle brothers age = x+4
Oldest brothers age = x+6
So,
Youngest brothers age = x+2 = 28+2 = 30 years of age
Middle brothers age = x+4 = 28+4 = 32 years of age
Oldest brothers age = x+6 = 28+6 = 34 years of age
Have a great day!
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 3x + 8 = 23
3x = 23 - 8
3x = 15
x = 15 / 3 = 5
B) 5x + 1 = 3x + 17
5x - 3x = 17 - 1
2x = 16
x = 16 /2 = 8
C) 4 (x+2) = 32
4x + 8 = 32
4x = 32 - 8
4x = 24
x = 24 / 4 = 6
4/5 divided by 1/10 = 4/5 x 10/1 = 40/5 = 8
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 2 ^ -4 ( = 1/16)
Discussion:
- 4 log {8} 2 {8} is used instead of subscript notation
Basic property of logarithms is that exponents become multipliers and vice versa:
-4 log {8} 2 = log {8} (2^ -4)
Thank you,
MrB
