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.

Tim is now earning $500 per week after receiving an increase of $45 per week. What was Tim's previous weekly salary
Mars2501 [29]
Now Tim gets $500 after it $45 was added to what he had last week

That means that
"What Tim earned last week" + $45 = $500

Subtract $45 from $500
$500-$45= $455

If you're not sure check your work
If I make $455 now and next week I get $45 more next week
$455+$45=$500
Next week I make $500

On a adventure trail, you biked 12 mi, walked 4 mi, ran 6 mi, and swam 2 mi. What fraction of the total distance did you bike? W
galben [10]
First you want to add all of those together.
12 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 24
So there are 24 miles in total.
Next, it says she biked 12 miles so you make a fraction.
12 / 24 which can be reduced to 1/2.
She spent one half of the total distance biking.
Hope this helps!
