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

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet. Its length is 12 feet longer than the width. Find the length and wid
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Length = 17 feet, Width = 5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The area of a rectangular wall of a barn is 85 square feet.

Its length is 12 feet longer than the width.

Question asked:

Find the length and width of the wall of the barn.

Solution:

Let width of a rectangular wall of a barn = x

<u>As length is 12 feet longer than the width.</u>

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = 12+x

As we know:

Area\ of\ rectangle=length\times breadth

85=(12+x)x\\\\85=12x+x^{2} \\

Subtracting both sides by 85

x^{2} +12x-85=0\\x^{2} +17x-5x-85=0\\Taking\ common\\x+(x+17)-5x(x+17)=0\\(x+17)(x-5)=0\\x+17=0, x-5=0\\x=-17,x=5

As width can never be in negative, hence  width of a rectangular wall of a barn = x = 5 feet

Length of a rectangular wall of a barn = 12+x=12+5=17\ feet

Therefore, length and width of the wall of the barn is 17 feet and 5 feet respectively.
