kofi is older kweku. given that kofi's age is (5x- 4)years and kweku's age is (2x+1)years,
\n" ); document.write( "a.write down an expression, in terms of x,for how much older kofi is than kweku.simplify your answer
\n" ); document.write( "(5x-4)-(2x+1) = 3x-5
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "b.if kofi is ten years older than kweku,calculate,
\n" ); document.write( "i.the value of x
\n" ); document.write( "3x-3=10
\n" ); document.write( "3x=13
\n" ); document.write( "x=13/3
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "ii.the ages of kofi and kweku
\n" ); document.write( "Kofi: 5x-4= 5(13/3)-4 = (65/3)-(12/3) = 53/3
\n" ); document.write( "Kweku: 2x+1 = 2(13/3)+1 = 26/3 + 3/3 = 29/3
\n" ); document.write( "==============================
