Let x = John's age now
half of what johns age was 4 years ago: (1/2)(x-4)
is equal to one third of what it will be in 5 years time: (1/3)(x+5)
(1/2)(x-4) = (1/3)(x+5)
3(x-4) = 2(x+5)
3x - 12 = 2x + 10
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle formed by two tangents intersecting outside of a circle is half the difference of the intercepted arcs.
This implies that:

We need to simplify this ad solve for x to get:

Group the similar terms to get:

232=116x
Divide by 116 to get:
x=2
PEMDAS. parenthesis, exponents, multiple or divide (whichever come first from left to right), add or subtract (whichever comes first from left to right)
