Answer:

The man is 27 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can create a system of equations.
Let x = the age of the man
Let y = the age of his son
You can create the following equations based on what was given in the problem:
1. x = y + 18
2. (x - 3) = 4(y - 3)
You can simplify the second equation:
x - 3 = 4y - 12
x = 4y - 9
Then, solve the system of equations:
x = y + 18
-
x = 4y - 9
____________
0 = -3x + 27
The son's age is 9, therefore the father is 27 years old.

Answer:

We need to earn $10,000 to buy that car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial bank account balance = 0;

Suppose our income is $x.

Since 23% of income shpould be paid in taxes,

Money paid in taxes = 23/100x X

After paying taxes,

Money in our account = Income - Money paid in taxes;

Money in our account = x -  23/100x X

Money in our account =  77/100x X   (equation 1)

Given,

Price of the car to be bought = $7700   (equation 2)

To be able to buy that car,

Money in account = Price of the car

From equation 1 and equation 2,

77/100x X = 7700

x= 7700 x 100/77

Therefore,

x = $10000.

Therefore

We need to earn $10000 to buy the car.

144\pi - 216\sqrt{3} \\\\&#10;144 = 2^4 \times 3^2\\\\&#10;216 = 2^3 \times 3^3\\\\&#10;\Longrightarrow~~\text{Common factor } = 2^3 \times 3^2 = 8 \times 9 = 72\\\\&#10;\Longrightarrow~~&#10;144\pi - 216\sqrt{3} = \boxed{72\Big(2\pi - 3\sqrt{3} \Big)}
