Answer:
Larry's age is 10 years
Explanation:
Let Chuck's age be c
Let Larry's age be L
Chuck's age is five years less than twice Larry's age
Mathematically:
[tex]c\text{ = 2l-5}[/tex]Chuck's age is 150% of Larry's age
What this mean is that Chuck's age is 1.5 times multiplied by Larry's age
Mathematically, we have this as:
[tex]c\text{ = 1.5l}[/tex]Now, we can proceed to equate the two equations as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2l-5\text{ = 1.5l} \\ 2l-1.5l\text{ = 5} \\ 0.5l\text{ = 5} \\ l\text{ = }\frac{5}{0.5} \\ l\text{ = 10 } \end{gathered}[/tex]
