Answer:

son's present age = 30

father's present age=60

Step-by-step explanation:

his son's present age = x years

his father's present age = 2x years

before 20 years his son's age=(x-20) years

before 20 years father's age=(2x-20) years4(x-20)=(2x-20)

4x-80=2x-20

4x-2x=80-20

2x=60

x=30

Can you please help me with this

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

log9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rules of logarithms

logx + logy = log(xy)

logx - logy = log( $\frac{x}{y}$ )

log $x^{n}$ ⇔ nlogx

Given

2(log18- log3) + $\frac{1}{2}$ log $\frac{1}{16}$

= 2(log( $\frac{18}{3}$ ) ) + log $(\frac{1}{16}) ^{\frac{1}{2} }$

= 2log6 + log $\frac{1}{4}$

= log6² + log $\frac{1}{4}$

= log36 + log $\frac{1}{4}$

= log( 36 × $\frac{1}{4}$ )

= log9

A trimaran boat, with a top speed of 55 knots, won the tournament cup in 2010. Its top speed is 6 knots more than 3.5 times the

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

14 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the speed (55 knots) is 6 more than 3.5 times the winner of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.

So let's set the variable for the speed of the monohull to <em>m</em>. Now, let's set up an equation:

$55 = 6 + (3.5 * m)$

We can solve this by first subtracting 6 from both sides to get:

$49 = 3.5 * m$

Dividing both sides by 3.5 we get:

$14 = m$

That means that the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament was 14 knots

The right isosceles triangle PQR has vertices P(3, 3), Q(3, 1 and R(x, y) and is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the o

nydimaria [60]

Since the triangle is isosceles, the two legs have equal length. The coordinates of two vertices are given
P(3,3)
Q(3,1)
Assuming that PQ and QR are the legs of equal length, the distance between Q and R must be the same as the distance between P and Q
d = √[(3-3)² + (3-1)²
d = 2
Therefore, the coordinates of P is
(5,1)
