Answer:
x = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5x - 1 = 9
Add 1 to both sides
2/5x = 10
Multiply by 5 on both sides
2x = 50
Divide by 2 on both sides
x = 25
Check the answer:
Plug in 25 for x
2/5(25) - 1 = 9
10 - 1 = 9
9 = 9
The answer is correct.

log6 [x. (2x-7)]=log6 (6^2)
x. (2x-7)=36
2x^2-14x-36=0
2x +4
x -9
(2x+4)(x-9)=0
x= -2
x=9
The value of 2^(-1) is 0.5
Amy = x
Betty = y
Carl = z
x + y = 29
x + z = 27
y + z = 22
y = 29 - x
z = 27 - x
29 - x + 27 - x = 22
-2x + 56 = 22
-2x = - 34
x = 17
y = 12
z = 10
Oldest child is Amy (17) and youngest child is Carl (10)
17 - 10 = 7
The difference between oldest child and youngest child is 7 years.
