Answer:

6 years

Step-by-step explanation:

So each person's age can be represented as a linear equation, since each year our age increases by 1. It can be represented in the slope-intercept form: y=mx+b. The slope in this case is going to be 1, since the time is going to be years, and each year everyone's age goes up by 1 (of course if you're still alive...) and y-intercept in this case represents their current age.

So the father can be represented as: y=x+38

The sons can be represented as: y = x+13 and y=x+5

The daughter can be represented as: y=x+8

So adding up all his children you get:

(x+13)+(x+5)+(x+8)

This gives you the equation:

3x+26

Now set this equal to the father's age to solve for x (in this context it's years)

3x+26=x+38

Subtract from both sides

2x+26=38

Subtract 26 from both sides

2x=12

Divide both sides by 2

x=6

So in 6 years the father will be the same age as his children put together

Hich correctly explains how to estimate 33 percent of 87?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer

The anwser is C - Round 33 percent to 30 percent and 87 to 90. Think of 30 percent as 10 percent + 10 percent + 10 percent. Find 10 percent of 90 as 9. So, 30 percent of 90 is 9 + 9 + 9, which is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got the anwser correct first try on the quiz.

Which one doesn’t belong and why
ad-work [718]

The polygon does not belong to the group as it is created by a <em>finite</em> number of line segments and the concept of the radius of curvature is not applicable.

<h3>What shape is different from the others? </h3>

In this problem we have three shapes related to circle-like and ellipse-like arcs (circle, semicircle, ellipse) and a <em>regular</em> polygon.

Circles are <em>closed</em> figures created by a arc whose radius of curvature is the same at every point and ellipses are <em>closed</em> figures created  by a arc whose radius of curvature varies in the following interval: a ≤ r ≤ b, where a, b are the lengths of the semiaxes.

Polygons are <em>closed</em> figures created by a <em>finite</em> number of line segments and therefore the concept of radius of curvature is not applicable.

Therefore, the polygon does not belong to the group as it is created by a <em>finite</em> number of line segments and the concept of the radius of curvature is not applicable.
