Answer:
26 year old

Step by step explanation:
Five years ago, John's age was half of the age he will be in 8 years.
this means that (x-5) = (x+8)/2
-----
solving for x, we get:
2 * (x-5) = x + 8
which becomes:
2x - 10 = x + 8
which becomes:
x = 18
-----
john is 18 years old now.

8 years from now john will be 26
13 = 1/2 * 26

The sum of rational number and an irrational number
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational." By definition, an irrational number in decimal form goes on forever without repeating (a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal). By definition, a rational number in decimal form either terminates or repeats.

Step-by-step explanation:

However, if the irrational parts of the numbers have a zero sum (cancel each other out), the sum will be rational. "The product of two irrational numbers is SOMETIMES irrational." Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.
