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

5y + 3 = 8y − 5 + 2y
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

\fbox{y = 8/5 }

Explanation:

[to solve for y, first use the properties of equality to simplify the equation]

5y + 3 = 8y − 5 + 2y

5y + 3 = (8y + 2y) – 5

[regroup the like terms of y together: commutative property of equality ; adding in a different order will still give you the same result]

5y + 3 = 10y – 5

[combine like terms]

5y + 3 = 10y – 5

\: \: \: \: \: \: -3 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: -3

[subtract 3 from both sides in order to eliminate the constant term on the left side: subtraction property of equality]

5y = 10y – 8

–10y –10y

[subtract 10 from both sides in order to eliminate the variable term: subtraction property of equality]

-5y = -8

÷(-5) ÷(-5)

[divide both sides by -5 to cancel out the coefficient of y: division property of equality]

y = 8/5

One - eighth of 7.92 x 10^10
liraira [26]
The answer is 9900000000 (thats 8 zeros) What you do is you find 10^10 which is 10000000000 (ten zeros) and multiply that by 7.92 to get 79200000000 then you just multiply it by 1/8 to get the answer.
