"Will is twice as old as Jill."
Jill's age . . . . . J
Will's age . . . . 2J .
"Three years ago . . .
Jill's age then . . . . . J - 3
Will's age then . . . . 2J - 3
". . . Jill's age then was 2/5 of Will's age then."
J - 3 = (2/5) (2J - 3)
Multiply
each side by 5 : 5J - 15 = 2 (2J - 3)
Divide
each side by 2 : 2.5 J - 7.5 = 2J - 3
Subtract 2J
from each side: 0.5 J - 7.5 = -3
Add 7.5
to each side: 0.5 J = 4.5
Multiply
each side by 2 : J = 9
Jill is 9 y.o. now.
Will is 18 y.o. now.
<span>The correct answer is option B. i.e. Both equation 1 and 2 have the same number of solutions. The equation 1 is |5x+6| = 41 By removing the modulus sign we get, 5x + 6 = 41 and 5x +6 = -41. Solving, 5x = 6 = 41 we get, 5x = 35 or x = 7. And, on solving 5x +6 = -41 we get, 5x = -47 or x = 9.4 Now. the second equation is |2x+13| = 28 By removing the modulus sign we get, 2x+ 13 = 28 and 2x +13 = -28. Solving, 2x = 28 -13 = 15 or x = 7.5 . And, on solving 2x +13 = -28 we get, 2x = -41 or x = -20.5.TH </span>
