Answer:
x + 14 = 2(x + 6)
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Algebra book age = x
Chemistry book age = x + 8
In 6 years time
Chemistry book age = x + 8 + 6
= x + 14
Algebra book age = x + 6
the chemistry book will be twice as old as the Algebra book.
x + 14 = 2(x+6)
x + 14 = 2x + 12
x - 2x = 12 - 14
- x = - 2
Divide both sides by -1
x = 2
Check:
Chemistry book age = x + 14
= 2 + 14
= 16
Algebra book age = x + 6
= 2 + 6
= 8
Since 6 is in the hundredths place,
96/100
You can divide that by two for a different, but equal fraction.
48/50, 24/25
24/25 is the simplest form.
I hope this helped you!
