Answer:
Kevin is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent Kevin's age now. Then Brendon's age now is (k-3). Two years ago the relationship of their ages was ...
k-2 = 4((k-3) -2)
k -2 = 4k -20 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
3k = 18 . . . . . . . . . . add 20-k
k = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Kevin is 6 now.
Because you're trying to make them congruent, equal the two expressions to each other.
So, for #10 you would equal them so it would look like this.
2x+2=5x-19
Then you would just go ahead and simplify
2x+2=5x-19
-2x -2x
---------------
2= 3x -19
+19 +19
---------------
21=3x
--- ----
3 3
x=7
This means that x should be 7. You can check this just by plugging it in
2x+2
2(7)+2 = 16
5x-19
5(7)-19= 16
Same with #11.
x+8=3x-14
-x -x
--------------
8=2x-14
+14 +14
--------------
22=2x
--- ----
2 2
x=11
Check.
x+8
11+8= 19
3x-14
3(11) - 14 = 19
