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

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5

The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is

                (0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5)  =  0.125  =  12.5% .

============================

Here are all the ways your answer sheet could wind up:
(R = a right answer.  W = a wrong answer.)

W W W 
W W R

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions:  1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 2 right out of 3 questions:  3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions:  1 way

Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses, 
then on the average, the score you expect is

      (0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8

   =                  400 / 8

   =                      50%  .  

If you're happy with that score, great !  
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.

which equation is represented by the function table below?          x's are 1,2,3,4              y's are 8,14,20,26     
Reika [66]
F: R -> R, f(x) = ax + b;
f(1) = 8 => a + b = 8;
f(2) = 14 => 2a + b = 14 => a = 6 and b =2;
f(3) = 20 => 6*3 + 2 = 20 True;
f(4) = 26 => 4*6 + 2 = 26 True;

then, f:R -> R, f(x) = 6x + 2;
