Mathematics
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The son is five years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x

A man is five as old as his son, 5x

In five years, he would be three times as old as his son

In five years: son would be x+5

Father 5x+5

3(x+5)=5x+5

3x+15=5x+5

Collect like terms

15-5=5x-3x

10=2x

Divide by 2

10/2=2x/2

x=5

The son is five years old

What is the equation of a line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point (-2,12)?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Which is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = m = -2

Given points are ( -2,12)

Which is

x = -2 and y =12

TO find:

Equation of line passing through these points = ?

Solution:

The point slope form of a line is

y = mx + c

Here we don't know the value of c

To find it

Putting y = 12 , x= -2 and y = -2 in the given equation

y = mx + c

Putting values it becomes

12 = (-2)*(-2) + c

12 = 4 + c

Subtracting 4 from both sides

12-4 = 4 -4 + c

8 = c

Now we have

m = -2 and c= 8

So equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

Putting value of m and c

y = -2*x + 8

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

AB = 3 + x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Option A) 4, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that quadrilateral ABCD is a  parallelogram with sides:

AB = 3 + x\\DC = 4x\\AD = y + 1\\BC = 2y

Since the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, we can write:

AB = DC\\AD=BC

Equating the sides we get,

\Rightarrow 3+x = 4x\\4x-x = 3\\3x = 3\\x = 1\\\Rightarrow y + 1 = 2y\\y = 1

Putting the values of x and y, we get:

AB = 3 + x =4\\DC = 4x =4\\AD = y + 1=2\\BC = 2y=2

Thus, the lengths of the opposite side pairs is 4,2.
