Phils age is 7 years more than 1/5 times peters age. also, 4 times phils age is 2 years less than twice peters age. if x is peters age in years, identify the equation that represents this situtation and identify the solution to the equation

Peters age is 25 years old.

The two equations that can be written given the information are:
h = x/5 + 7   and    4h = 2x - 2
When x = Peter's age and h = Phil's age.

If we use substitution, we can come up with the equation:
4(x/5 + 7)= 2x - 2
4x/5 + 28 = 2x - 2 
4x + 140 = 10x - 10
150 = 6x
25 = x
Solving this for x, we give us that Peter's age is 25.

Hmmm i had this before , give me a sec
