Step-by-step explanation:
Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense? No it doesn't.
Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.
<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>
ANSWER
Find out the how old was we when he died.
To proof
Let us assume that the age of the Adam be x
As given
Adam lived a quarter of his life as a boy as fifth as a young man, a third in middle-age and 13 years in retirement.

L.C.M of denominator i.e ( 4,5,3) =60
than the equation becomes
60x = 15x + 12x +20x +780
60x - 47x = 780
13x = 780

x = 60 years
therefore the Adam age when he died is 60 years.
Hence proved
The total is 275 because 100% divided by 20% is 5 and if 20%= 55 then that means that 55 goes into 100% 5 times so you multiply 55 by 5 to get 275. Hope I helped! Please rate me as the brainliest!
