The answer should be C because that’s the most reasonable and because you can’t simplify 125/7
Answer:
Father's age is 50, Son's age is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
X+Y=60
X-Y= 40
Let X represent the Father's age while Y represents the Son's age;
therefore, from the two equations, the value of X is
X= 60-Y
X= 40+Y then putting in the value of x
(40+Y) + Y= 60,
40+2Y=60
2Y=60-40 =20
Y= 10,
Now that we know the value of Y, we can get the value of x
If X+Y=60, then
X+10=60,
X=60-10,
X= 50
If you're trying to solve for y
-2y = 8
Divide -2 to both sides

Cancel out the -2 on the left, Divide the -2 to the 8 on the right so
y = -4
The signs of the numbers in the problem matter because if a number is negative in the equation than you're answer could be negative. ex. -3/9= -3 but if the negative sign wasn't there than the answer would be wrong bc the answer would be positive.
hope thats what you need hope it helps.
