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.

Show that if n is an integer and n^3 + 5 is odd then n is even
Salsk061 [2.6K]
If n is odd then its cube is also odd because odd times odd is odd. When we add 5, an odd number, we get an even number.
If n is even, its cube is also even so adding an odd number makes the sum odd. So if the expression is odd, n must be even.
