Emma is 5 years older than 6 times beth's age. If Emma is 29 years old how old is Beth?

Beth ---- x

Emma ---- 6x+5

but 6x+5 = 29
6x= 24
x=4

Beth is 4 yrs old.

Emma age is 5 years more than 6 times Beth's age. If Emma is 29 years old, which of the following equations represents Beth's age?

The ratio of the incomes of Jack and Sam is 9:7 and the ratio of their expenditures is 4:3. If each of them manages to save $2,000 per month, find their monthly income.

To find Beth's age, let's set up an equation based on the information given.

Let's assume Beth's age is represented by the variable "x".

According to the information given, Emma is 5 years older than 6 times Beth's age, which can be represented as: 6x + 5.

We also know that Emma is 29 years old. So we can set up the equation:

6x + 5 = 29

Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of x (Beth's age).

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

6x = 29 - 5

6x = 24

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate the variable x:

x = 24 / 6

x = 4

Therefore, Beth is 4 years old.
