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

How can you write 72+(8+19) to make it easier to add
max2010maxim [7]
There's a key problem in this question compelling you to actually rewrite it like that! Mathematically that is inaccurate and incorrect. If you do 72(8+19) it seems as if you are going to do 8+19*72 as in algebra whatever is outside the bracket is bound to go multiplied so technically (8+19)+72 would make more sense and the answer is

Using bidmas do the brackets first

8+19= 27
27+72=99

Answer:

No, it is incorrect. The line should be solid, not dotted, because it's a ≤ sign, not a < sign.
