Answer:
Jane: 37 years old
Anne: 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Jane 12 years ago: 5x
Anne 12 years ago: x
In three years into the future:
Jane: 5x+15
Anne: x+15
CURRENT TIME:
Jane: 5x+12
Anne: x+12
Equation (using 3 years into the future ages): 5x+15=2(x+15)
5x+15=2x+30
(subtract 15 from both sides)
5x=2x+15
3x=15
x=5
Therefore, Jane is 37 years old and Anne is 17 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:
r=96/128=3/4
Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+4) ^ (1/3) + (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = 0
Subtract (x+4) ^ (1/3) from each side
(x+4) ^ (1/3) - (x+4) ^ (1/3)+ (2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)
(2x+8) ^ (1/3) = -(x+4) ^ (1/3)
Cube each side
(2x+8) ^ (1/3) ^3= -(x+4) ^ (1/3)^3
2x+8 = -(x+4)
Distribute the negative sign
2x+8 = -x -4
Add x to each side
2x+8 +x =-x+x-4
3x+8 = -4
Subtract 8 from each side
3x+8-8 =-4-8
3x =-12
Divide by 3
3x/3 = -12/3
x = -4
