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.

He can make 32 sandwiches. Since he uses 1/8 pound of cheese for each sandwich, he can make 8 sandwiches using 1 pound of cheese (1/8 x 8 = 1). Now that you know he can make 8 sandwiches with 1 pound of cheese, multiply 8 (this is the sandwiches) by 4 (pounds of cheese).

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other so
4x - 7 = x + 2 and
5y - 8 = 3y

4x - 7 = x + 2 so 3x = 9 and x = 3

5y - 8 = 3y so 2y = 8 and y = 4
