Answer:
12 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the mother's age by m and the son's by 4. Currently m = 36 years old.
In x years the mother will be three times as old as her son:
mother: 36 + x years old
son: 4 + x years old
The pertinent equation to solve is:
36 + x = 3(4 + x)
Performing the multiplication, we get:
36 + x = 12 + 3x, or
24 = 2x. Then x = 12.
Check: In 12 years, will the mother's age be 3 times the son's age?
Does 36 + 12 = 3(4 + 12)?
Does 48 = 48? YES
The mother will be 3 times as old as her son in 12 years from now.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
isosceles trapezoid = congruent sides in pairs and the same for the angles
<h2><u><em>
angle 1 = 32°</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>
angles 2 & 3 = 148°</em></u></h2>
the sum of the interior angles is 360°
so angle 1 = 32°
angles 2 and 3
(360 - 32 - 32) :2 = 148°
check
32 + 32 + 148 + 148 = 360°
the answer is good
Answer:
8 and 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the first number as x, the second as y
x+y=18
2x-y=6
This is an binary system of first order equations
3x=24
x=8
y=10
Answer: x = 63
Step-by-step explanation:
15/3 = 5
3 * 21 = 63
63/15 = 21/5
