Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x and son's age be y.

Equations formed :

  1. x = y + 25
  2. x - 10 = 6(y - 10)

Substitute value of x from Equation 1 in Equation 2.

  • y + 25 - 10 = 6(y - 10)
  • y + 15 = 6y - 60
  • 6y - y = 15 + 60
  • 5y = 75
  • y = 15

Solution :

  1. Son = y = 15 years
  2. Father = y + 25 = 15 + 25 = 40 years

Answer:

Present age of son = 15 years

& Present age of father = 40 years

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the son's present age be x years

  • -> Father's present age = (x + 25) years

  • 10 years ago:
  • Son's age = (x - 10) years

  • Father's age = (x +25 -10) = (x +15) years

  • It is given that: 10 years ago father was six times as old as his son

  • -> x + 15 = 6(x - 10)

  • -> x + 15 = 6x - 60

  • -> x- 6x = - 60 -15

  • -> -5x = - 75

  • -> x = -75/(-5)

  • -> x = 15

  • -> x + 25 = 15 + 25 = 40

  • -> Present age of son = 15 years

  • & Present age of father = 40 years.

The answer is B-about 18km


This is because you round 18.23 to 18km

you add these rounded numbers together


you take it away from 50km


the answer would then me 18km


but it be ABOUT because that was only a rough estimate because it was rounded
