A father is now 38 years older than his son.Ten years ago he was twice as old as his son.How old are the father and son?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

father's age = 86

son's age = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

86-10=76

48-10=38

38*2 = 76

Answer 2

Answer:

father: 86son: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use your number sense to reason your way through this problem, or you can write equations for it. If the father is 38 years older than his son, and that makes him twice as old, the son must be 38 and the father 76. This was the condition 10 years ago, so their ages now are ...

father: 86son: 48

__

If you prefer to solve a set of equations, you can assign variables f, s, to the father's age and the son's age respectively.

  f = s +38 . . . . . . the father is 38 years older than the son.

  (f -10) = 2(s -10) . . . . 10 years ago, the father was twice as old as the son

The first equation gives an expression we can use to substitute into the second equation:

  s +38 -10 = 2s -20 . . . . substitute for f, eliminate parentheses

  48 = s . . . . . . . . . . . add 20-s, collect terms

  f = 48 +38 = 86

The father is 86; the son is 48.

_____

Additional comment

An age difference remains the same through the years. It is the same now as 10 years ago or 10 years in the future. A multiplying factor for ages gets smaller as years go by. Someone 3 times as old now will only be 2 times as old at some point in the future, for example.

The difference in ages is a multiple of the younger age that is 1 less than their ratio. In other words, if A is 3 times as old as B, the difference (A-B) is exactly (3 -1)×B = 2B. In the above problem, this was (f-s)=38; f/s=2, so we know 38 = (2 -1)s = s.

The measure of c is ???

Answers

Answer: 3*sqrt(13)

Explanation:
this is using the pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. c is always the hypotenuse (longest side) of the triangle.
so plugging in the numbers: 9^2 + 6^2 = c^2.
solving: 81 + 36 = c^2
117 = c^2
now to solve for c^2, we can take the square root of both sides: sqrt(117) = c
to simplify the square root, we can factor it. 117 can be divided into 13 * 9. (I just tried numbers given in the options)
so c = sqrt(13 * 9)
9 can be factored into 3 * 3
c = sqrt(13 * 3 * 3)
since we have two 3’s, that can be taken out of the square root to get:
c = 3*sqrt(13)

y= -x + 1 and y= 2/3x - 4 What is the solution to the system of equations?

Answers

Answer:

x=3 /

steps: (For x)

Turn the equation into --> -x+1 = 2/3x-4

Next is the multiply the equation by 3 to make isolating x easier so it becomes --> -3x+3=2x-12

Now arrange the terms to where variables are on a side and constants are on a side

it should look like --> -3×-2x=-12-3

Now combine like terms --> -5x=-15

finally just divide by -5 on both sides

x=3

For y:

substitute X for either of the equations

y=2/3 x 3-4

y=-2

The solution is (3,-2)

2x - 3 + 3x = -23
solve for x. I woild like a step by step so i can learn how to do it​

Answers

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify

2x-3+3x=-23 turns into

5x-3=-21 -- combined like terms

Step 2: Start Solving

5x-3 = -23

+3         +3    -- Getting x alone by adding 3 to cancel it out

5x = -20

/5       /5    -- getting x alone by dividing by 5 to again cancel it out

Step 3: The answer

x = -4

Answere:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

well, if you have the equation 2x-3+3x=-23, The first thing you wanna do is add up the X's so 2x+3x=5x, and then you put the 5x in the equation instead of 2x+3x:

-3+5x=-23

Then you since you have a -3, you should add 3 on BOTH sides of the equal sighn. And when you add 3 and -23 you get -20, so the new equation is:

5x=-20, from there you can tell X=-4

Answers

Answer:

x int: -5

y int: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 0 for x to find y intercept. 6(0) + 15y = -30 then you would get 15y = -30. Divide by 15 on both sides. y = -2

Plug in 0 for y to find x intercept 6x + 15(0) = -30 then you would get 6x = -30. Divide 6 on both sides. x = -5

1) Jessica won 55 pieces of gum playing the
bean bag toss at the county fair. At school
she gave two to every student in her math
class. She only has 3 remaining. How
many students are in her class?

Answers

Answer:

26 students

Step-by-step explanation:

55 pieces given - 3 she keeps for herself=52

52÷2pieces each = 26

First, I subtracted. 55 - 3 to get 52, as she should have three pieces of gum left over. Then, I divided 52 by 2, to get 26 students. To double check, I divided 52 by 26, which equals 2 pieces of gum per classmate.
So I believe the answer is: There are 26 students in Jessica’s math class.
