Lets say that Williams current age is x, since it is currently unknown
From here we know that in 15 years (x+15) he will be 3 times his age 5 years prior (3x-5). Thus we can set these equations up as equal to one another
1) x + 15 = 3(x - 5)
2) x + 15 = 3x-15
3) 30= 2x
4) 15 = x
5) Now this age is his current age of 15 years, but they also want his age 15 years from now
The equation is x + 15 = 3(x - 5)
This should be correct now, sorry for the misconception. Good luck
Answer:
11 or -16
Step-by-step explanation:
The square of a number increased by 5 times the number is equal to 176.
Let the number be x
Then, x²+5x=176
x²+5x-176=0
We use splitting the middle term method
x²+16x-11x-176=0
x(x+16)-11(x+16)=0
(x-11)(x+16)=0
i.e. either x-11=0 or x+16=0
i.e. either x=11 or x=-16
Hence, the number is either 11 or -16
