Answer:
x = 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and ratios to solve
4.5 ft 6 ft
--------- = ---------------
15 ft x ft
Using cross products
4.5x = 15*6
4.5x =90
Divide each side by 4.5
4.5x/4.5 = 90/4.5
x =20
Andy's age = x
Jeff's age = x-2
Andy's age in five years = x+5
Jeff's age in five years = x-2+5
The sum of their ages in five years = x+5 + x-2+5
x + 5 + x - 2 + 5 = 40
2x + 8 = 40
<u> -8 -8</u>
2x = 32
<u> :2 :2</u>
x = 16
x - 2 = 14
<u>Andy is 16 years old and Jeff is 14 years old</u>
