Answer: 3 + x = 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 + 3 = 5, if 2 = x. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles
∠ QRT is an external angle, thus
∠ QRT = ∠ RTS + ∠ RST, substitute values
45x = 25x + 57 + x
45x = 26x + 57 ( subtract 26x from both sides )
19x = 57 ( divide both sides by 19 )
x = 3
<span>LMNO is a parallelogram
so NM = OL
x + 15 = 3x + 5
solve for x
x - 3x = 5 - 15
-2x = -10
x = 5

x = 5</span>
Answer: 46 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:
Father = x - 3
son = y - 3
Then , from the first statement :
x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )
x - 3 = 3y - 9
x = 3y - 9 + 3
x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1
In five years time
father = x + 5
son = y + 5
Then , from the second statement
x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )
x + 5 = 2y + 10
x = 2y + 10 - 5
x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have
3y -6 = 2y + 5
add 6 to both sides
3y = 2y + 5 + 6
subtract 2y from both sides
3y - 2y = 11
y = 11
substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(11) - 6
x = 33 - 6
x = 27
This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.
In four years time
father = 27 + 4 = 31
son = 11 + 4 = 15
sum of their ages in four years time will be
31 + 15 = 46 years
