Father = x
son = y
x-5 = 7(y-5)
x +5 = 3(y+5) solve the system

x-5 = 7y-35
x+5 = 3y +15

x-5 = 7y-35
-x-5 = -3y -15
-10 = 4y -50
+50 +50
40 = 4y
10 = y

Solve for X
x+5 = 3(10) + 15
x+5 = 45
x = 40

The father is 40yrs old and the son is 10yrs old.

the length of a flag is 0.3 foot less than twice its width. if the perimeter is 14.4 feet longer than the width, find the dimens
forsale [732]
x-\ length\\
y-\ width\\\\
x+0.3=2y\ \ \ \ \ | subtract\ 0.3\\x=2y-0.3\\
perimeter=2x+2y\\ 2x+2y-14.4=y\\\\
2*(2y-0.3)+2y-14.4=y\\
4y-0.6+2y-14.4=y\\
6y-15=y\ \ \ | add\ 15\\
6y=15+y\ \ | subtract\ y\\
5y=15\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 5\\
y=3\\
x=2y-0.3=2*3-0.3=6-0.3=5.7\\\\
Dimensions:\ length=5.7\ feet\, width=3\ feet.

If 8 cakes cost £4.00 how much would 3 cakes cost?
zzz [600]
Hello!

To calculate how much 3 cakes would cost, we must first find the cost of each individual cake.

To do this, we must divide the cost of 8 cakes by 8 cakes.

4.00 ÷ 8 = 0.5

This means that each individual cake costs $0.50. Multiply this by 3 to find the cost of 3 cakes.

0.50 × 3 = 1.50

Therefore, 3 cakes would cost $1.50.
