Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the details :
Kofi is older than kweku
kofi's age = (5x-4) years
kweku's age = (2x+1) years
a. write down an expression, interns of x,for how much old is Kofi than kweku
Equate the ages of Kofi and kweku
(5x - 4) = (2x + 1)
5x - 4 = 2x + 1
5x - 2x = 1 + 4
3x = 5
3x - 5
B.) if Kofi is tens years older than kweku, find the value of x and the ages of Kofi and kweku
Then,
(5x-4) = (2x + 1) + 10
5x - 4 = 2x + 1 + 10
5x - 2x = 1 + 10 + 4
3x = 15
x = 5
Kofi's age : 5x - 4
5(5) - 4 = 25 - 4 = 21 years
Kweku's age : (2x + 1)
2(5) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 years
