Answer = 12

Explanation:
Let x be Timothy’s present age.
The, Adele’s present age = x+5

After 3 years, Timothy’s age = x+3
Adele’s age = x+5+3 = x+8

According to the question, we have

x + 3 = 2/3 (x+8)

3(x + 3) = 2x + 16

3x + 9 = 2x + 16

3x - 2x = 19 - 9

x = 7

Therefore, Timothy’s current age is 7 years and Adele’s current age is 12 years

Eli had $10, but he lost some of it. His mom doubled the money he had left. Eli wrote the expression 2(10 – k) to show how much
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Equation 1

In the story it said Eli's mom doubled the money he left, that is what the two represents. 10 is the original amount he had. -k is the money he lost.

Equation 2

20 is the the result of the original 10 being multiplied. -2k, now the 2 is still the amount that the mom doubled his amount by, and the k is how much money Eli lost.

Hope this helps!!

the initial term of arithmetic sequence is 5. The eleventh term is 125. what is the common difference of the arithmetic sequence
kap26 [50]
An arithmetic sequence starts with one number and you add the common difference to the previous term to get the current term
So...
f(x)=mx+b
m=common difference
b=starting point
f(11)=125=11m+b
-
f(1)=5=1m+b
--------
120=10m
Divide both sides by 10
12=m
Your common difference is 12.
