Answer:

34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

f = s + 28          Eq. 1

f+8 = 3(s+8)      Eq. 2

f = father age

s = son age

replacing Eq. 1 on Eq. 2

(s+28) + 8 = 3(s+8)

s + 36 = 3*s + 3*8

s + 36 = 3s + 24

36 - 24 = 3s - s

12 = 2s

12/2 = s

s = 6

from the Eq. 1

f = 6 + 28

f = 34

Check

from the Eq. 2

34+8 = 3(6+8)

42 = 3*14

The coordinates of the preimage of polygon ABCD and the image ofA'B'C'D' are given below. What rule describes the transformation
I am Lyosha [343]

The coordinates of polygon ABCD are:

A(4,3) B(4,0) C(-1, 1) D(-1, 4)

and

The coordinates of the transformed polygon A'B'C'D' are:

A'(1, 1) B'(1, -2) C'(-4,-1) D'(-4, 2)

To understand the transformed rule, just remove the coordinates of the actual polygon from the transformed polygon.

A' - A = (1, 1) - (4, 3) = (1 - 4, 1 - 3) = (-3, -2)

Similarly,

B' - B = (1, -2) - (4, 0) = (1 - 4, -2 - 0) = (-3, 2)

The same result will be obtained from other points (C and D). Therefore, the first option (-3, 2) is correct.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 800/x=100/17

(800/x)*x=(100/17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

800=5.88235294118*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.88235294118) to get x

800/5.88235294118=x

136=x

x=136

83% of 800=664
