Melvin is X years old . Jonathan is 5 years older than Melvin. their total age 10 year later is 85 years .Find the value of X
2 answers:
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,
Collect like terms
Calculate the sum
Subtract 25 on both sides
Calculate
Divide both sides of equation by 2
Calculate
Hope this helps...

It takes 9 hrs 19.8 minutes for the student teacher to grade the exams if they worked alone
<u>Solution:</u>
Let the efficiency of the school teacher be “x” and the efficiency of the student teacher be “y”
Here the word efficiency means the rate of doing work
Let the total work to be completed be W
According to the question,
The time taken by the school teacher to complete the work is 7 hrs.
So we can write it in equation form
---- eqn 1
where W is the total work and x is the efficiency
Similarly for student teacher and school teacher doing the work simultaneously, we can write the equation as
Equating eqn 1 and 2
7x = 4x + 4y
3x = 4y
So in ratio x : y = 4 : 3
Now putting value of x = 4 in equation (1) we get total work to be 28
Now, <em>total time taken by the student teacher = total work ÷ efficiency of student teacher</em>
Hence, total time taken by the student teacher = 28 ÷ 3 = 9.33 hrs
= 9 hrs 19.8 minutes
Hence it takes 9 hrs 19.8 minutes for the student teacher to grade the exams if they worked alone
