Answer:

Joe's present age = 36 years

Vika's present age = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the present age of

Joe = x

Vika = y

Joe's age exceeds by Vika's age by 16 years.

x = y + 16...... Equation 1

Four years ago, Joe was twice as old as Vika.

x - 4 = 2(y - 4)

x - 4 = 2y - 8........ Equation 2

We substitute y + 16 for x

y + 16 - 4 = 2y - 8

Collect like terms

16 - 4 + 8 = 2y - y

y = 20 years

We solve for x

x = y + 16...... Equation 1

x = 20 + 16

x = 36 years

Therefore, Joe's present age = 36 years

Vika's present age = 20 years

Set up an equation and solve the following problem.

Answer:

The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by Dave = d = 210 miles

The time taken by Dave = t hour

The speed of Dave = s miph

Again

The distance cover by Kent = D = 230 miles

The time taken by Kent = T hour

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

For Dave

Time = $\dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}$

So, t = $\dfrac{\textrm d miles}{\textrm s miph}$

Or, t = $\dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph}$

For Kent

Time = $\dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}$

So, T = $\dfrac{\textrm D miles}{\textrm S miph}$

Or, T = $\dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}$

∵ Time taken by both is same

So, t = T

Or, $\dfrac{\textrm 210 miles}{\textrm s miph}$ = $\dfrac{\textrm 230 miles}{\textrm (s + 4) miph}$

Or, 210 × (s + 4) = 230 × s

Or, 210 × s + 210 × 4 = 230 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 230 × s -210 × s

Or, 210 × 4 = 20 × s

∴ s = $\dfrac{840}{20}$

i.e s = 42 miph

So, The speed of Dave = s = 42 miles per hour

Again

The speed of Kent = S = (s + 4 ) miph

i.e S = 42 + 4

or, S = 46 miph

So, The speed of Kent = S = 46 miles per hour

Hence,The speed of Dave is 42 miles per hour

And The speed of Kent is 46 miles per hour . Answer
