You really just have to do 12.4 x 2 = 24.8 because half of 24.8 is 12.4.
Answer:
C. x=5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x+10x=34-14
(8x=20 ) /:8
x=5/2
Suppose in 1992 Chris was x years old, his brother was then 2x years old.
6 years later in 1998, Chris is (x+6) years old, his brother is (2x+6),
(x+6)=(2/3)(2x+6)
x+6=(4/3)x+4
(4/3)x-x=6-4
(1/3)x=3
x=6
in 1992, Chris was 6, so in 2018 he will be 6+(2018-1992)=32 years old.
