Let smaller, a = x then b = x + 2

x + x + 2 = 12

2x = 10

x = 5

So the 2 numbers are 5 and 7.

1. MATHEMATICS The sum of ages of Bola, Dada and Ayo is 32 years. After sharing a sum of money in ratio of their ages, if Bola g

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Bola is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Bola's age be x

Dada's age be y

Ayo's age be z

If the sum of ages of Bola, Dada and Ayo is 32 years, then;

x + y + z = 32

If they share a sum of money in ratio of their ages, then the ratio of their ages will be x : y : z

Also if Bola gets N400, Dada get-N400 and Ayo get N800, then the total amount of money shared will be expressed as:

T = 400 + 400 + 800

T = N1600

Next is to get the age of Bola

$\frac{age \ of \ bola}{32}* Total \ amount \ shared = Bola's \ Share$

Substitute the required variables and values into the formula;

$\frac{x}{32}*1600= 400\\50x=400\\x=\frac{400}{50}\\x=8$

This shows that Bola is 8 years old

Y=log(x-3)<br><br>what would be the base?

timurjin [86]

By definition, if :

$a^y = b$

$y = log_a b$

<span>We highlight the following elements:

</span><span>a = Base of the logarithm;
b = logarithmand or antilogarithm
y = logarithm</span><span>

Therefore:

</span><span>Note that since the base was not specified, we know that it is equal to 10.
</span>
$y = log_a b$
$y = log_{10} (x-3)$
$10^y = (x-3)$
<span>
Answer:

</span>Base of the logarithm = 10

Simplify 2 + 3/5x - 1 - 1/5x

tankabanditka [31]

The answer would be c. because 2-1= 1 and 3/5x - 1/5x= 2/5x. All adding up to 1+2/5x.
