Answer:

  • father: 36
  • son: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...

  5(s+4) = (s+32)+4

  5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20

  s = 4

The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...

  father : son = 5 : 1

The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...

  father : son = 40 : 8

So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...

  father: 36; son: 4.

Can anyone help me on #3?? And explain?
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Since we know the polygons are similar, the side length ratio of each side must be equal.
13/5 = x/10
Multiply both sides by 10
x = 26
That's your answer. Have a nice day! :)

What is 26.99 round to the nearest tenth
Arte-miy333 [17]
Salutations!

To round to the nearest tenth, you need know whether the number next to tenth place is greater than 5 or lesser than 5. If its greater than 5, you need to round up. If its lesser than 5, you need to round down. Now, in the number 26.99 9 is in the tenth place. The number next to 9 is greater than 5, so just add on to the ones place, making the tenth and hundredth place 0. Zero has no value so whether you add the zero or not, it does not matter.

<span>26.99 round to the nearest tenth </span>≈ 27

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!
