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.

Which shows the expression below in simplified form?
Kisachek [45]

Answer: C. 3.2 × 10^4

Step-by-step explanation:

for this case the multiplication of the values with exponent are summed, as the exponent are the 6 and -3

6 - 3 = 3

this will be the exponent of the common value which is the 10.

after you only need to multiply 8 and 4 by separate the

8 * 4 = 32.

then we only need to place the values one by one

32 × 10^3

3 is the result of the sum of the exponent.

10 is the common value.

32 is the result of the product.

if we add another zero to the multiplication we get 3.2 and exponent finish with one more zero, then we get this result

3.2 × 10^4

because of that the C is the correct answer, keep in mind that the other answers do not apply correctly the rule of the exponent, because the rest of answer give us wrong answer with final result of the exponent.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD HELP
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

19² = 17² +x²

19² - 17² = x²

√361-289 =x

√72 = 8.5 ≈ x

Area = base*h/2 = 17*8.5/2 ≈ 72.3

Perimeter = 19+17+8.5= 44.5

and so on...

2.

x²= 5² +13²...

A= 5*13/2 =...

P= 5+13+x=...

3.

20² = 10² +x²...

A=10*x/2=...

P=20+10+x=...

4.

x² = 5² +14²...

A=5*14/2 =...

P= 5+14+x = ...
