Add 3y and 4y: 7y=56
Divide by 7: y=8
Answer:
The father is 35years old and the son Tom is 15years old
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the father's be y
Let Tom's age be T
5 years ago:
The father's age is: y — 5
Tom's age:
T— 5.
But Tom's age was one third the father's age. This is written as:
T — 5 = 1/3(y — 5)
3(T — 5) = y — 5
3T — 15 = y — 5
3T — y = — 5 + 15
3T — y = 10 (1)
In 5years time:
The father's age is:
y + 5
Tom's age:
T + 5
But in 5years time, Tom will be half as old as his father. This is written as:
T + 5 = 1/2(y + 5)
2(T + 5) = y + 5
2T + 10 = y + 5
2T — y = 5 — 10
2T — y = — 5 (2)
Therefore, the equations are
3T — y = 10 (1)
2T — y = — 5. (2)
Solving by elimination method:
Subtract equation (2) from (1)
3T — y = 10
— (2T — y = — 5)
T = 15
Substituting the value of T into equation (1)
3T — y = 10
3(15) — y = 10
45 — y = 10
45 — 10 = y
y = 35
Therefore,
The father is 35years old and the son Tom is 15years old

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
-1.6 - 2x = 5x + 0.9
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Add 2x on both sides: -1.6 = 7x + 0.9
- Subtract 0.9 on both sides: 2.5 = 7x
- Divide 7 on both sides: 0.357143 = x
- Rewrite: x = 0.357143
