Answer:
1)
82.5 - <u>8</u><u>2</u><u>.</u><u>5</u> + 2x = 338.5 - <u>8</u><u>2</u><u>.</u><u>5</u>
<u>2</u>x = <u>2</u><u>5</u><u>6</u>
2)
2x ÷ <u>2</u> = 256 ÷ <u>2</u>
x = <u>1</u><u>2</u><u>8</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1)
In order to get rid 82.5, you have to substract the same value on both side to get a 0 value.
2)
In order to find the value of x, you have to divide the value that is sticked with x which is 2. As you divide 2 by 2, you will get 1 as a single value of x so you have to divide 2 to both side too.
Answer:
85.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 26 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = current age of Louise (in years).
Then current age of James = x+6
Eight years from now, James's age = x+6+8= x+14
4 years ago, Louise's age = x-4
According to the question
x+14 = 4(x-4)
⇒ x+14 = 4x-16
⇒ 4x-x = 16+14
⇒ 3x = 30
⇒ x= 10 = current age of Louise (in years).
current age of James = 10+6 = 16 years
Sum of current ages = 16+10=26 years.
hence, the sum of the current ages is 26 years.
