Mike age is 3 less then twice the age of his brother nuke.
M = Mike's age now
N = Nuke's age now
M = 2N - 3

Ten years ago, four times nuke's age was one more mike's age.
M-10 = Mike's age 10 years ago
N-10 = Muke's age 10 years ago
4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10

what are their present ages

find M and N

substitute M = 2N - 3 into 4(N - 10) = 1 + M -10:

4(N - 10) = 1 + [2N - 3] - 10
4N - 40 = 2N - 12
2N = 28
N = 14

M = 2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

Mike is 25 and Nuke is 14.

check:
4(14 - 10) = 4(4) = 16 = 26 -10 = 1 + 25 - 10

The total length of wires a b and c is 445 cm wire a is 45 cm longer then wire b and wire b is half as long as wire c how long i
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a = 145\ cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a + b + c = 445

a = 45 + b

b = \frac{1}{2}c

Required

Determine the length of a

Solve for c in b = \frac{1}{2}c

2 * b = \frac{1}{2}c * 2

2b  = c

c = 2b

Substitute c = 2b and a = 45 + b in a + b + c = 445

a + b + c = 445

45 + b + b + 2b = 445

45 + 4b = 445

Solve for 4b

4b = 445 - 45

4b = 400

Solve for b

b = 400/4

b = 100

Recall that: a = 45 + b

a=45+100

a = 145\ cm
