Nick is now seven times as old as harry. in 6 years, nick will be five times as old as harry. how old will harry be in 6 years? if x represents harry's age now, then which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem? 5(7x + 6) = x + 6 7x = 5x + 6 7x + 6 = 5 (x + 6)

7x+6 = 5(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents Harry's age now, so 7x represents Nick's age now. (Nick is 7 times as old as Harry.)

In 6 years, Harry's age will be x+6.

In 6 years, Nick's age will be 7x+6, which is 5 times Harry's age at that time, 5(x+6). Hence an appropriate equation is ...

... 7x+6 = 5(x+6)

Please note that finding the value of x does not give the answer to the question. We are asked for Harry's age in 6 years, so the answer is x+6 (=18).

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
