Answer:

<h2>30 years</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Age of melvin = X

Age of Jonathon = X + 5

After 10 years,

Age of melvin = X + 10

Age of Jonathon = X + 15

Now,

According to the question,

x +10 + x + 15 = 85

Collect like terms

2x +10 + 15 = 85

Calculate the sum

2x + 25 = 85

Subtract 25 on both sides

2x + 25 - 25 = 85 - 25

Calculate

2x = 60

Divide both sides of equation by 2

\frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{60}{2}

Calculate

x = 30

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

b=15 g=25

Step-by-step explanation:

lets translate that story problem to mathematics equations

the problem told that no. of girls are 10 more than no of boys so this will =

g=b+10

then in class there are 40 students that means

g+b=40

now we have to equations with two variables then we should substitute

(b+10)+b=40

lets remove the brackets

2b+10=40 subtract 10 from both sides

2b=30 now divide both by 2

b=15 so g=25 after you write the equation once again with the new proof or number
