In 27.5 years.

[By the way, I think you mean x+x+95=150.]

Let x be the number of years in the future when the sum of their ages will be 150. In x years, the younger person will be 45+x and the older will be 50+x. The sum of their ages will be 150, and the equation to find x is given by:

(45+x)+(50+x)=150

Now solve for x:

(45+x)+(50+x)=150

95+2x=150

2x=150-95=55

x=55/2=27.5

So the sum of their ages will be 150 in 27.5 years.

The younger person will be 45+27.5=72.5 and the older person will be 50+27.5=77.5.

How do you make both sides of an equation equal by using the plus and - signs Using these numbers 3 5 3 9 6 5 4 2 place plus and - signs between the digits so that both sides of the equation are EQUAL?

Both sides of an equation are always equal. This is the meaning of an equation!An equation requires an equals sign. You have not specified where the equals sign should go. This question is therefore a little unclear.Furthermore, regardless of where the equals sign goes these numbers (using only these numbers and using each only once) can not be made to equate using only addition and subtraction.It can therefore only be assumed that you are seeking something such as this (where we will use each number twice; once on each side of the equation):3 - 5 - 3 + 9 - 6 + 5 + 4 - 2 = 3 + 5 + 3 - 9 + 6 - 5 + 4 - 2.5 = 5.
