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.

Find the circumference and the area of the circle with a diameter of 15ft​
guapka [62]

Answer:

Circumference is pi times diameter so that would equal 15 pi. The formula to find the area of a circle is A=pi * r^2 So you divide 15 by 2 to find the radius. r=7.5 Then you square it and multiply it by pi and get 56.25pi which is about equal to 176.715

HELP ME SOMEBODY PLSS
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

-6/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the same as the slope (I don't know if you have learned that term yet), but basically its the change in y's over the change in x's. to find this out, all you have to do is count from the point on the graph that is the farthest right (in this case, (6,1)), up to the y coordinate of the point farthest to the left (-2, 7) which is 6, and then count the number of spaces between the x coordinates, which is 8. put the rise (up and down count) over the run (horizontal count) in a fraction form, which gives you 6/8, and then notice how the line is pointing towards the bottom RIGHT hand corner making the line negative, so you need to make the rate of change negative, giving you the final answer of -6/8.
