Answer:
The age of brothers are 4 years and 2 years respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the ages of two brothers have a ratio of 2 to 1. When 4 years have passed, the ratio of their ages will be 8 to 6.
Let the age of the first brother be 'x years' and the age of the second brother be 'y years'.
So, according to the question;
- The first condition states that the ages of two brothers have a ratio of 2 to 1, that means;
-------------- [equation 1]
- The second condition states that when 4 years have passed, the ratio of their ages will be 8 to 6, that means;





= 2 years
Putting the value of y in equation 1 we get;
x = 2y
x =
= 4 years
Hence, the age of brothers are 4 years and 2 years respectively.
Set up a ratio:
240/180 = X/36
Cross multiply:
240 * 36 = 180x
8640 = 180x
Divide both sides by 180:
X = 8640 / 180 = 48
The person would weigh 48 pounds.
Answer:
X=3

Hope this helps and have a wonderful day!!!
2(y-4)+5=3(y+2)
multiply the first bracket by 2
(2)(y)=2y
(2)(-4)=-8
multiply the second bracket by 3
(3)(y)=3y
(3)(2)=6
2y-8+5=3y+6
2y-3=3y+6
move 3y to the other side
sign changes from +3y to -3y
2y-3y-3=3y-3y+6
-y-3=6
move -3 to the other side
-y-3+3=6+3
-y=9
multiply both sides by -1 to get +y
(-1)(-y)=9(-1)
Answer:
y=-9
-3x+7<11
-3x<4
x>-4/3
So anything less than or equal to -4/3 does not belong to the solution set.
With your update:
