I suspect you may have slipped up as you copied the question. Exactly as you wrote it, it has a single zero, at x= 2 .
Step-by-step explanation:
x = father's age now
y = son's age now
x = 2y + 10
x - 20 = 5(y - 20) = 5y - 100
using the first in the second equation :
2y + 10 - 20 = 5y - 100
-10 = 3y - 100
90 = 3y
y = 30
x = 2y + 10 = 2×30 + 10 = 60 + 10 = 70
the father is now 70 years old, the son now 30 years old.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height
Mr.Eastman drew triangle JKL,with a height of 12 inches and a base of 12 inches
Area of JKL = 1/2 × 12 inches × 12 inches
= 72 Square inches
triangle XLZ, with a height of 8 inches and a base of 16 inches. Which triangle has the greater area?
28 white ducks swimming in pond
2*(28 white ducks) = 56 brown ducks flew and landed in pond
(28 white ducks)/2 = 14 white ducks remained in the pond
Ducks remaining in the pond (at this point):
(14 white ducks) + (56 brown ducks) = <u><em>70 ducks in all</em></u>
