Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the details :
Kofi is older than kweku
kofi's age = (5x-4) years
kweku's age = (2x+1) years
a. write down an expression, interns of x,for how much old is Kofi than kweku
Equate the ages of Kofi and kweku
(5x - 4) = (2x + 1)
5x - 4 = 2x + 1
5x - 2x = 1 + 4
3x = 5
3x - 5
B.) if Kofi is tens years older than kweku, find the value of x and the ages of Kofi and kweku
Then,
(5x-4) = (2x + 1) + 10
5x - 4 = 2x + 1 + 10
5x - 2x = 1 + 10 + 4
3x = 15
x = 5
Kofi's age : 5x - 4
5(5) - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21 years
Kweku's age : (2x + 1)
2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 years
The same length, if something is congruent it means they’re the same
Simply collect like terms, numbers and or variables that have the same number and type of variable.
For example 15x^2 and 10x^2 are like terms. Circle the sign in front of the term to perform the correct operation.
