Answer:

46 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

let the father b (f) and d son is (s)

so

f=3s.....(1)

(f+10) +(s+10)=68 .... (2)

substitute f=3s in equation (2)

we have

(3s+10)+(s+10)=68

4s+20=68

4s=68-20

4s=48

s=12 .......(3)

substitute (3) in (1)

f=3*12

which f=36

in 10 year time

f+10 =46

s+10=22

2Y - 1.7 =3.3 <br><br> HELP !!!!!
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2y + -1.7 = 3.3

Reorder the terms:

-1.7 + 2y = 3.3

Solving

-1.7 + 2y = 3.3

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1.7' to each side of the equation.

-1.7 + 1.7 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7

Combine like terms: -1.7 + 1.7 = 0.0

0.0 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7

2y = 3.3 + 1.7

Combine like terms: 3.3 + 1.7 = 5

2y = 5

Divide each side by '2'.

y = 2.5

Simplifying

y = 2.5
