david is 5 years older than jonathan. in 6 years, double jonathans age added to quadruple davids age will equal to 128. what is each of their current ages?

David a 17 ans et Jonathan a 12 ans  

Step-by-step explanation:

David aura 23 ans dans 6 ans et Jonathan aura 18 ans dans 6 ans

Donc 23 * 4 = 92 et 18*2 = 36 comme 92+36=128 on trouve leurs ages dans 6 ans et on soustrait ensuite 6 à leurs ages dans 6 ans pour trouver leurs ages aujourd'hui

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
