Answer: 9−27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
Answer:
y = 11/20
Step-by-step explanation:
-4/5 + y = -1/4
Add 4/5 to each side
-4/5 +4/5 + y = -1/4+4/5
y = -1/4 + 4/5
Get a common denominator
y = -1/4 *5/5 + 4/5 *4/4
y = -5/20 + 16/20
y = 11/20
Check
-4/5 +11/20 = -1/4
Get a common denominator
-4/5*4/4 + 11/20 = -1/4*5/5
-16/20 +11/20 = -5/20
-5/20 = - 5/20
