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

Let's write f(x)=4x-1, g(x)=-3x+5

We see f(.8)=2.2, g(.8)=2.6    close, with g a bit bigger

then f(.9)=2.6, g(.9)=2.3      also close, with f a bit bigger

We see f and g crossed somewhere between .8 and .9 at a value beween 2.2 and 2.6, so I'd guess a meet near (0.85, 2.4).  Closest answer is

Answer: D (.9, 2.4)

Which two rooms have an
alexgriva [62]

Answer: room 101 and room 107

Step-by-step explanation:

In room 101, the ratio of boys to girls is 16:12. This is further simplified to its lowest fraction by dividing by 4. It becomes 4:3

In room 104, the ratio of boys to girls is 20:9. This cannot be further simplified to its lowest fraction.

In room 107, the ratio of boys to girls is 12:9. This is further simplified to its lowest fraction by dividing by 3. It becomes 4:3

Therefore, room 101 and room 107 have the same ratio.
