The ratio of the ages of three children is 2:4:5. The sum of their ages is 33. What is the age of each child?

We can represent this situation by the equation 2x+4x+5x=33.

Then 11x=33, and x = 3.

Then the children's ages are in the ratio 2x:4x:5x, or 2(3):4(3):5(3), or

6:12:15.

Do these 3 ages add up to 33? 6 + 12 + 15 = 33? YES!

The children's ages are 6, 12 and 15 years respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the given ages be 2x , 4x and 5x.

Here,

2x + 4x +5x =33

or,x = 33/ 11

or,x =3

Hence,

2x =2 (3)=6years

4x=4(3)=12years

5x=5(3)=15years

Let a, b, c and x elements in the group G. In each of the following solve for x in terms of a, b, and c.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The answer is $x=a^{-1}cb^{-1}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to recall that the group law is not commutative in general, so we cannot assume it here. In order to solve the exercise we need to remember the axioms of group, specially the existence of the inverse element, i.e., for each element $g\in G$ there exist another element, denoted by $g^{-1}$ such that $gg^{-1}=e$ , where $e$ stands for the identity element of G.
