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

The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 146 cm and the given area. Its length is 7 more than five times its width. Write and solv
dangina [55]

Answer:

System of equations:

L = 5W + 7

2W + 2L = P

L = 62 cm

W = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the measurements and key words/phrases in the problem, we can set up two different equations that can be used to find both variables, length and width, of the rectangle.  

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is:  2W + 2L = P, where W = width and L = length.  We also know that the L is '7 more than five times its width'.  This can be written as:  L = 5W + 7.  Using this expression for the value of 'L', we can use the formula for perimeter and solve for width:

2W + 2(5W + 7) = 146

Distribute:  2W + 10W + 14 = 146

Combine like terms:  12W + 14 = 146

Subtract 14 from both sides:  12W + 14 - 14 = 146 - 14 or 12W = 132

Divide 12 by both sides:  12W/12 = 132/12 or W = 11

Put '11' in for W in the equation for 'L':  L = 5(11) + 7 or L = 55 + 7 = 62.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!!!! I NEED THE ANSWER IN ONE HOUR!!! Ben has 57 toys. 15 of them are new, 9 are his favorite ones
storchak [24]
So.... there are a total of 57 toys, which the new and favorites ones are not going to be sold.

The equation would ultimately go into 57 - (15+9+2), which would equal to 31. Ultimately, he sells 31 toys and have 26 left over.

in short, subtracting 57 with the sum of 15+9+2 would equal to 31 toys which means that he sells the 31 toys.
