Max and his friend zeke are comparing their ages. they figure out that if they double maxs age from 3 years ago and add it to zekes current age, the sum is 26. if zeke is currently 8 years old, determine how old max currently is

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age ( in years ) of Max and y be the present age ( in years ) of Zeke,

Max's age 3 years ago = x - 3

According to the question,

2 ( x - 3 ) + y = 26 (1)

Also, if Zeke's present age is 8 years,

That is y = 8,

From equation (1),

2x - 6 + 8 = 26

2x + 2 = 26

2x = 24

x = 12

Hence, Max is 12 years old currently.

just do 5.2 + 2 ( 7.2) and 1/3 x 3 (.9) and youv'e got your equation. 0.9( 9/10) + 7.2 ^2 = 16.4 hope i could !
