<u>The present age of the man is 36 years and his son is 11 years.</u>

Answer:

Solution given:

let the age of man be x.

and his son be y.

By question

x-6=6(y-6)

x=6y-36+6

x=6y-30. ......(1)

and

3(x+4)=8(y+4)

3x+12=8y+32

3x=8y+32-12

3x=8y+20. ...(2)

substituting value of x in equation 2 ,we get

3(6y-30)=8y+20

18y-90=8y+20

18y-8y=90+20

10y=110

y=110/10

y=11 years

again substituting value of y in equation 1 we get

x=6*11-30

x=66-30

x=36 years

The elves ate all 327 cookies in a 1/2 hour. What is the rate in cookies per hour?
Elenna [48]
Well.. an hour is.. 60 seconds.. but, 1/2 an hour is.. 30 seconds.. And if the elves ate 327 cookies, you would have to divide 327/100 * 30, and that would be.. 1,090 rates in cookies that they ate per hour! Hope I was able to help! And.. if you can, please give me Brainliest! I would really appreciate it! Merry Christmas, and God Bless you, and your whole family! Be/stay safe, and have a good rest of your day! :)

What is the solution of the inequality -6x-17≥8x+25
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
-6x -17> 8x + 25.
Get x on one side; Subtract 8x from both sides.
-14x -17 > 25.
Add 17 to both sides to get x by itself.
-14x>42.
Divide both sides by -14 (remember to flip the inequality when dividing by negatives).
x <_ 3 is your solution (line under the inequality).
I hope this helps!
