Kevin is 333 times as old as daniel. 444 years ago, kevin was 555 times as old as daniel. how old is kevin now?

Let D be Daniel's present age, then we can represent Kevin's present age as 3D because Kevin is 3 times as old as Daniel.

We can write an expression for Daniel's age 4 years ago as D-4 and Kevin's age 4 years ago as 3D-4.

We are told that 4 years ago Kevin was 5 times as old as Daniel. We can write this information as:

Now let us solve our equation to find Daniel's present age.

Daniel's present age is 8 years. Now we will multiply 8 by 3 to get Kevin's present age as Kevin is 3 times old as Daniel.

Therefore, Kevin is 24 years old now.  

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
