Let's say Jackson's age now is x.
In 20 years, (so 20+x), Jackson seven years ago will be 2/5ths of that age.
So 2/5(20+x)=x-7
Then you solve the equation
8+2/5x=x-7
15=3/5x
x=25
Jackson is 25 years old.
Let's check our answer! In 20 years, Jackson will be 45. 7 years ago, he was 18. 2/5 of 45 is 18. Our answer is correct!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1). 8(5)-8+10
40-8+10
32+10
42, so answer is C
2). 9/5(42)+32
9(8.4)+32
75.6+32
107.6°F, so answer is D
Answer: x < -12
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x – 12 > 36
4x > 36+ 12
-4 > 48
x < -48/4
x < -12
Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)
