Let William be x years old.

Thomas = (4 + x) years

In five years,

William = (x + 5) years

Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years

Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.

x + 5 + 9 + x = 24

2x + 14 = 24

2x = 24 - 14 

2x = 10

x = \frac{10}{2}

x = 5

Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( n + 5 ) = -2

First, solve the brackets.

2n + 10 = -2

Now take 10 to the right side.

2n + 10 -10 = -2 - 10

2n = -12

Then divide both sides by 2.

\frac{2n}{2} =\frac{-12}{2}

And now you'll the value of n.

n = ( -6 )
