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.

Determine the​ value(s) of h such that the matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system. [Start 2 By 3 Matrix 1s
Leni [432]

Answer: h = 9

Step-by-step explanation: A system of linear equations is consistent when it has at least one solution.

The matrix given is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\5&-7&-3\end{array}\right]

Transform this matrix in a row-echelon form:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\5&-7&-3\end{array}\right]   R_{2} = 3R_{2}+R_{1} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-15&21&h\\0&0&-9+h\end{array}\right]

For this row-echelon form to have solutions:

-9 + h = 0

h = 9

For this system to be consistent: h = 9.
