Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you have to make a system of equations.

Since the father and son's age sum up to 60, the first equation will be:

f + s = 60

Secondly, since the father's age is 5 times the age of the son 6 years ago the equation will be:

6 - (5s) = f

Now, you have to solve the first equation to let it equal to s

f + s = 60

f = 60 - s

Plug in

6 - 5s = 60 - s

     +s          +s

6 - 4s = 60

-6         -6

---------------------

-4s = 54

-----   -----

 -4     -4

   s ≅ 14

14 + 6 = 20

Answer:

20.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = father's age and y = son's age,

x + y = 60

x - 6 = 5(y - 6)

x - 5y = -24

Subtract this from first equation:

6y = 84

y = 14

So the son's age is 14.

Six years time son will be 20.

myrzilka [38]
<span>Headwind of 4 mph: m-4

(Since the headwind is going against the hawk, the hawk should be slower. You subtract 4 from the speed, which in this case is the variable M)

Tailwind of 6 mph: m+6

(Since the tailwind is going with the hawk, the hawk should be faster. You add 6 to the speed, which is in this case is the variable M)

What is the reflection of K and L and M and N
levacccp [35]

K’: (0, 1)

L’: (-3, 1)

M’: (-2, 3)

N’: (-1, 3)

You are reflecting across the x = 2, so the line is vertical on 2 like |. It’s as many points away on each side for the other side. Ex. K is 2 points to the right of x = 2 so then it would be 2 points to the left of x = 2.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The slope of the line is -7/8

When the point (7, –4) is used, the point-slope form of the line is

y+4=(-7/8)(x-7)

The slope-intercept form of the line is y=(-7/8)x+(17/8)
