phil's age is 7 years more than 1/5 times peter's age.also,4 times phil's age is 2 years less than twice peter's age .if x is peter age in years ,identify the identify the equation that represents the situation and identify the solution to the equation .
Let Peters age be x Phil's age is 1/5x+7---------------------------(i) Phil's age can also be calculated as 4(1/5x+7)=2x-2--------------------------------(ii) So, 4/5x+28=2x-2 28+2=2x-4/5x 30=10/5x-4/5x 30=6/5x x=30*[tex] \frac{5}{6} [/tex] x=25
