Mike is five years more than twice as old as Tom The sum of their ages is sixty five How old is Mike?
Mike=M Tom=T M=5+2T T+M=65 M=65-T 65-T=5+2T 65=5+3T 60=3T 20=T (Tom is 20 years old) T+M=65 20+M=65 M=45 (Mike is 45 years old)
Max is 24 years older than his son Liam in two years Liam will be half as old as Max How old is Max now?
Equation 1: M = L + 24; Equation 2: M + 2 = 2(L + 2) Substitute M: L + 24 + 2 = 2L + 4 Subtract L from each side: 26 = L + 4 Subtract 4 from each side: 22 = L Max is 46 and Liam is 22; in 2 years Max will be 48 and Liam 24.
What is m-2 over m plus 2 times m over m-1?
(m-2)/(m+2) * m/(m-1) = [(m-2)*m]/[(m+2)*(m-1)] = (m2 - 2m)/m2 + m - 2)
What is 5(m-2) - m(m-2)?
5(m-2) - m(m-2)
What does m to the third power mean?
Well, hello there! When we see "m to the third power," it means we are multiplying 'm' by itself three times. So, if we have m x m x m, that's what m to the third power represents. It's like painting a lovely little trio of 'm's dancing together on our canvas of mathematics.
