Sagot :
Anita is 17 years old now
6 years ago she was 17- 6 years = 11 years
thus 6 years ago Ben is P 11 years old
therefore Ben will be P 11 + 6 years old now
6 years ago she was 17- 6 years = 11 years
thus 6 years ago Ben is P 11 years old
therefore Ben will be P 11 + 6 years old now
Ben is [tex]\frac{P}{11}+6[/tex] old now in terms of P .
What is linear equation?
A linear equation in two variables is of the form Ax + By + C = 0, in which A and B are the coefficients, C is a constant term, and x and y are the two variables, each with a degree of 1. For example, 7x + 9y + 4 = 0 is a linear equation in two variables. If we consider two such linear equations, they are called simultaneous linear equations.
According to the question
Six years ago Anita was P times as old as Ben was.
Let Ben's age now be B.
Anita's age now is A.
Writing linear equation in two variables
(A-6) = P(B-6)
But A is 17 and therefore
17 - 6 = P(B - 6)
11 = P(B - 6)
[tex]\frac{11}{P}[/tex] = (B-6)
[tex]B = \frac{P}{11}+6[/tex]
Hence,
Ben is [tex]\frac{P}{11}+6[/tex] old now in terms of P .
