Agyappng is three times as old as Atsu .three years ago ,he was four times as old as Atsu ..how old is each boy now​

9514 1404 393

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Atsu's current age. Then Agyappng is 3x. Three years ago the relationship was ...

  (3x -3) = 4(x -3)

  9 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-3x

Atsu is 9; Agyappng is 27.

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752

i think the answer would be c
