Answer:
X= 40
Step-by-step explanation:
X ×2+5= Jonathan age.
So, 85÷2-5 = X
X= 85÷2-5
=40
Answer:
30 years
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,
[tex]x +10 + x + 15 = 85[/tex]
Collect like terms
[tex]2x +10 + 15 = 85[/tex]
Calculate the sum
[tex]2x + 25 = 85[/tex]
Subtract 25 on both sides
[tex]2x + 25 - 25 = 85 - 25[/tex]
Calculate
[tex]2x = 60[/tex]
Divide both sides of equation by 2
[tex] \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{60}{2} [/tex]
Calculate
[tex]x = 30[/tex]
Hope this helps...
Good luck on your assignment..
