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.

Hamish and hairy work as plumbers. Harry earns a dollar more than 5/4 The amount Hamish orange per hour. The amount Harry earns
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Harry earns 26 and Hamish earns 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount earned by each one of them is shown below:

Let us assume the hairy be Y

And, the Hamish be M

It is given that Harry earns a dollar i.e more than 5/4

And, it is $2 less than  7/5

So, the equation would be

y = 1.25m + 1  ...........................(i)

And,

y= 1.4m -2  .............................(ii)

Now equal both the equations

1.25m + 1 = 1.4m - 2

3 = 0.15m

So, m = 20

Now put the values of m in any of the above equation to find out the value of Y

Y = 1.25m + 1

= 1.25 (20) + 1

= 26

Give the equation of the line that passes through the points (4,6) and (-2,3)
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

y = 1/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (3-6)/(-2-4)

    = -3/-6

   =1/2

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y =1/2x+b

Substitute one of the point into the equation

6 = 1/2(4) +b

6 = 2+b

b=4

y = 1/2x+4
