Answer:

The mother is 40 years old and the son is 16 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

With a system of equations mentioned in the statement the answer can be reached, we have to:

Let X be the age of the mother, Y the age of the son.

X + Y = 56 (1)

X-10 = 5 * (Y-10) (2)

Solving

 X -10 = 5 * Y - 50

From where:

X = 5 * Y - 40

Substituting in the first equation:

5 * Y - 40 + Y = 56

6 * Y = 56 + 40

Y = 96/6 = 16

Now, replacing the value of Y:

X = 5 * 16 - 40

X = 80 -40

X = 40

Therefore the mother is 40 years old and the son is 16 years old.

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet more than its width. If the width is increased by 4 feet and the length is decreased by 5 fe
bezimeni [28]
Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w

No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12

Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:

w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20

cross mult.

3w= 4.5(4)

3w = 18

Just need the answer for a and b
34kurt

Answer:

2⁵× 2ˣ = 256

x= 3

(1/3)² (1/3)ˣ = 1/729

x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2⁵× 2ˣ = 256

x= 3

use Product Rule: xᵃxᵇ=xᵃ⁺ᵇ

convert both sides to the same base.

2⁵⁺ˣ = 2⁸

cancel the base of 2 on both sides.

5+x=8

subtract 5 from both sides.

x=8-5

simplify  8-5 3.

x=3

(1/2)² (1/3)ˣ = 1/729

x = 4

use division distributive property: (x/y)ᵃ=xᵃ/yᵃ

i hope this helped i didn't feel like typing the rest out though lol  :(
