Answer:   5s -3 = s -3 + 24    5s -3 = s + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Father   f

Son   s .   present:  f = 5s  use this equation to substitute the equal value

3 years ago .  f-3 = s-3 + 24  

Substitute 5s for f in the second equation

5s -3 = s-3 + 24

works out as  5s -s = - 3  +3 + 24

4s = 24  

4s/4 = 24/4  

s = 6

The son's age is 6, The father is 30

Set up the equation you would use to solve the problem.Do not actually solve the equation.
Cloud [144]
Answer: B

Explanation

I believe it’s B because it says when the plane fly with the wind it’s 390miles so if we want to know the speed of the plane In still air it should be 390/x + 10 because we need to consider that the speed of the plane + the speed of wind. While the plane fly at 325 against the wind so it should be 325/x - 10 cuz this time it goes against the wind.
