Sam is 50 years old and his niece is 2 years old. In how many years will Sam be five times older than his niece?

Respuesta :

Answer:

10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of years we need to add

We want same to be 5 times older than his niece

50 +x = 5(2+x)

Distribute

50+x = 10 +5x

Subtract x from each side

50+x-x = 10+5x-x

50 = 10+4x

Subtract 10

50-10 = 4x

40 = 4x

Divide by 4

40/4 =4x/4

10 = x

In 10 years
