Answer:

41 and 77

Step-by-step explanation:

x: his age the first time he went to space

y: his age the second time he went to space

the second time he went to space he was 5 years younger than twice the age when he went his first time, then:

y = 2x - 5

the sum of both ages is 118, then:

x + y = 118

If you replace y = 2x - 5 in x + y =118:

x + 2x - 5 = 118

3x = 123

x = 41

replacing x:

41 + y = 118

y = 118 - 41

y = 77

so when he was 77, he was 5 years younger than twice 41 ( 41*2 = 82 => 82 - 5 =77)

2x - 5y=-15<br> can someone walk me through this?
HACTEHA [7]
The equation given in the question has two unknown variables in the form of "x" and "y". The exact value of "x" and "y" cannot be determined as two equations are needed to get to the exact values of "x" and "y". This equation can definitely be used to show the way for determining the values of "x" in terms of "y"and the value of "y" in terms of "x". Now let us check the equation given.
2x - 5y = - 15
2x = 5y - 15
2x = 5(y - 3)
x = [5(y - 3)]/2
Similarly the way the value of y can be determined in terms of "x" can also be shown.
2x - 5y = - 15
-5y = - 2x - 15
-5y = -(2x + 15)
5y = 2x + 15
y = (2x +15)/5
   = (2x/5) + (15/5)
   = (2x/5) + 3
So the final value of x is [5(y -3)]/2 and the value of y is (2x/5) + 3.

What is the converse of the following statement? If a number is odd, it is not divisible by two.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Converse in discrete mathematics is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.

So the correct answer will be that If a number is not divisible by two, then it is an odd number. Which is option D.

The math converse of a statement switches the if and then, resulting in a statement that may or may not be true so we have no guarantee that the preposition is true or not.
