Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.

4 years ago, the son was:

s-4

So, his father is currently:

3(s-4)

=

3s-12

Therefore:

f = 3s-12

In twelve years, the son will be:

s+12

And the father will be:

f+12

This can also be written as:

3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12

=

3s

So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36

Son’s current age: 36

We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.

2(24)+24 = 72

Father’s current age: 72

Systems By Graphing - Solve All Correctly For a Thanks, 5-Stars, And A Brianliest!
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Amari= Graph C and Solution is (-6,-2)

Bella= Graph A and Solution is (3,4)

Carl= Graph B and Solution is (0,-3)

0 solutions because the slopes are the same. The lines will never cross because they are at the exact same angle.

No, I do not agree with Joey because the lines have different slopes and will lead to the system cross which is the solution.

1st graph: y=2x-1 and y=7 solution #1= (4,7)

2nd graph: y=-2x-3 and y=1/2x solution #2= (-2,1)

3rd graph: y=x and y= -1/5+6 solution #3= (5,5)

I had this exact same assignment a few months ago, my teacher didn't use the 2nd slide but I had the 1st and 3rd slide so this should help!

1/4 (84x - 100)=?<br><br>I can't solve it! please help me!
slamgirl [31]
The answer is 21x-25 because all you have to do is multiply the 1/4 by the 84x and then multiply 1//4 by negative 100. A simpler way of explaining this is just that you need to distribute
