You’d set up a proportion. I did 25/15=7x-40/18.
Then you would cross multiply to get 15(7x-40)=450
Distribute the 15.
105x-600=450
Add 600 to both sides, so the -600 cancels out.
Then you’re left with 105x=1050
Divide both sides by 105 and you get x=10

Thomas is 4 years older than his brother william. in five years the sum of their age will be 24. how old is each boy?

Rasek [7]

Let William be x years old.

Thomas = (4 + x) years

In five years,

William = (x + 5) years

Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years

Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.

x + 5 + 9 + x = 24

2x + 14 = 24

2x = 24 - 14

2x = 10

x = $\frac{10}{2}$

x = 5

Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.

Help answer this if ya know!

C) The +10 is because you already have 10 coins, that will not change. The 6x is because with each passing day, the number of coins increase by 6 (x represents days). The equation then turns into y=6x+10

Hope this helps comment for more questions :)
