Answer:

a. 12 years

b. 30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Assume Liaqat's age is x. His age would be:

5x + 10 = 70

5x = 70- 10

x = (70 - 10) / 5

x = 12

<em>Liaqat is 12 years old.</em>

b. Assume his uncle's age is y;

4y - 10 = 130

4y = 130 - 10

y = (130 - 10) / 4

y = 30

<em>Liaqat's uncle is 30 years old. </em>

I walk each day to school. By what percentage would I need to increase my usual average speed in order for the journey to take 2
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let v, t be the current average speed and the time taken to reach the school respectively.

As distance = speed x time, so,

distance, d=vt...(i)

Let V be the new average speed in order to to take 20% less time than t.

So, time taken with speed V = t-20% of t = t- 0.2t= 0.8t

As distance is constant, so

d= V(0.8t)= 0.8Vt

hBy using equation (i), we have

0.8Vt = vt

0.8 V = v

V= v/0.8=1.25v

Therefore, the percentage increase in the average speed = \frac{V-v}{v}\times 100

=\frac{1.25v-v}{v}\times 100

=25%

Hence, the percentage increase in the average speed is 25%.
