Sagot :

Answer:

11/18.

Dan is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial fraction is

x / 2x-4

Adding 3/3 we have

x+3 / 2x-1 = 2/3

Cross multiply:

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

3x + 9 = 4x - 2

9 + 2 = 4x - 3x

11 = x,

So the original fraction was 11 / 2(11) - 4

= 11/18.

If Dans age is d then Lois's age = 4d.

So 4d + d  = 40

5d = 40

d = 8.

So Dan is 8 years old.
