Answer: The original number is 175

Step-by-step explanation:

The number will be represent by x .

The number is being divided by 5  so we can represent by the expression x/5.

After than is being added to 18  so we will add 18 to the expression.

x/5 + 18 .

It has to equal to 9 less than 62 and 9 less than 62 is the same as the expression  62 -9.

Whole equation will be   x/5 + 18 = 62 - 9  

\frac{x}{5} + 18 = 62 - 9     Combine like terms on the right side

x/5 + 18 = 53        Subtract 18 from both sides

      -18     -18

x/5 = 35     Multiply both side by 5.

x = 175

This means the original number is 175.

Eight year-old Alex is learning to ride a
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born can be determined by simply deducting the Current age of Alex from the Current age of the horse in human years.

Therefore, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born was 42 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current age of Alex = 8

Current age of the horse in human years = 50

Since the age of the horse is already stated in human years, it implies there is no need to convert the age of the horse again.

Therefore, since Alex is a human who was born 8 years ago, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born can be determined by simply deducting the Current age of Alex from the Current age of the horse in human years as follows:

The age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born = 50 - 8 = 42

Therefore, the age of the horse, in human years, when Alex was born was 42 years.

This can be presented in a table as follows:

                               Age of Alex        Age of the Horse (in human years)

Eight years ago              0                                           42

Current age                    8                                           50
