Step-by-step explanation:

9514 1404 393

  5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find x such that ...

  2(5 +x) = 15 +x . . . . . after x years, Joyce will be 2 times as old

  10 +2x = 15 +x . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . .  subtract x+10

Joyce will be twice as old as Mensah in 5 years.

the answer would be 484

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply 0.484 times 1,000 (formula)

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!
