Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
total=average ×no.
18×40=720 the no. of coins for all children
12×24=288 no. of coins for boys
720-288=432 for all girls
one girl, mean,divide 432 by 16= 27
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.

Answer:3.1875
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
-3 + 8 + -8(7 + -2a) = 0
-3 + 8 + (7 * -8 + -2a * -8) = 0
-3 + 8 + (-56 + 16a) = 0
Combine like terms: -3 + 8 = 5
5 + -56 + 16a = 0
Combine like terms: 5 + -56 = -51
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving
-51 + 16a = 0
Solving for variable 'a'.
Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '51' to each side of the equation.
-51 + 51 + 16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: -51 + 51 = 0
0 + 16a = 0 + 51
16a = 0 + 51
Combine like terms: 0 + 51 = 51
16a = 51
Divide each side by '16'.
a = 3.1875
Simplifying
a = 3.1875
