I NEED HELP ASAP ITS A QUIZ Jim's uncle is four times as old as his nephew Jim. In ten years, Jim's uncle's age will be twenty years more than twice Jim's age. How old is Jim's uncle right now? Type a numerical answer in the space provided. Do not type spaces in your answer.

Jim's uncle is 20 years old right now

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of times Jim's uncle is as old as Jim = 4 times

The age of Jim's uncle in 10 years = 20 + 2 × Jim's age

Let Jim's age = A, and Jim's uncles age = B;

Therefore, from the information in the question, we have;

B = 4 × A(1)

B + 10 = 20 + 2 × A(2)

Therefore, by substituting the value of B from equation (1) into equation (2), we have;

B = 4 × A

∴ B + 10 = 20 + 2 × A, gives;

4 × A + 10 = 20 + 2 × A

4 × A - 2 × A  = 20 - 10 = 10

A × (4 - 2) = 10

2 × A = 10

A = 10/2 = 5

A = 5 years

Therefore, Jim's age = A = 5 years

Jim's age = 5 years

B = 4 × A = 4 × 5 years = 20 years

B = 20 years

Jim's uncles age = B = 20 years

Jim's uncles age = 20 years

Therefore;

Jim's uncle is 20 years old right now.

i think the answer is .36

step-by-step explanation:

what i did was only 2.88 divided by 8

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
