Answer:

44yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

sum= 64

8yrs ago

Hanna = x - 8

Andrew =3x - 8

sum 8yrs ago

64 - 8 - 8 = 48 yrs

| \

Hanna's Andrew's

3x + x = 48

4x = 48

4 4

x = 12

Andrew = 3x = 3 x 12 = 36( 8 yrs ago)

now = 36 + 8 = 44yrs

Hanna's = x = 12(8 yrs ago)

now = 12 + 8 = 20yrs

How do you solve this

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

domain: all terms are defined for all real numbers
solution: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as a single exponential. After taking the log, the solution becomes obvious.

$5^{x-2}-7^{x-3}=7^{x-5}+11\cdot 5^{x-4}\\\\5^{x-2}-11\cdot 5^{x-4}=7^{x-3}+7^{x-5}\\\\5^{x-2}(1-11\cdot 5^{-2})=7^{x-3}(1+7^{-2})\\\\5^{x-2}\dfrac{14}{25}=7^{x-3}\dfrac{50}{49}\\\\1=\dfrac{2\cdot 7^{x-3}5^4}{2\cdot 5^{x-2}7^3}=\left(\dfrac{7}{5}\right)^{x-6}\\\\0=(x-6)\log(1.4)\\\\x=6$
