Answer:Teo's age = 7 years ,Richard's age = 19 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let Teo's age be represented as x
Such that Richard 's age = 5 + 2x
and their combined ages equaling 26 can be expressed as
x + 5+ 2x = 26
Step 2 --- SOLVING
x + 5+ 2x = 26
3x+ 5= 26
3x= 26-5
3x= 21
x = 21/3
x = 7
Teo's age = 7 years
Richard's age = 5+2x= 5 + 14= 19 years
Answer:
53.04
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x+7) becomes 4x+28 you multipli the 4 in parentheses ans 2(x+7) becomes 2x+14
4x+28=2x+14 you move the x termes to the left and other numbers to the right look:
4x-2x=14-28 when you change the sides always change the sign +or-
2x=-14
2x/2=-14/2
X=-7
