He would be 120 yrs old because 60 times 4 is 240 and the son is half of his age so 240 divided by 2 is 120 hope this helped

60 because when the father is 4 times his age he would be 120, and we know that when the father was 60 the boy was 30.
That would make the boy 60

bogdanovich [222]

A would be 6/12 (1/2) and B would be 1/12. To make this easier to understand, think of it this way. 6+1=7, and 6-1=5. In the future, find what adds to 7 and begin plugging in numbers until you get the correct answer.

$y+8 = \frac{1}{2}(x-7)$ is equivalent to <span> $y-(-8) = \frac{1}{2}(x-7)$

That is in the form </span><span> $y-y_{1} = m(x-x_{1})$ which is point slope form

In this case,

m = 1/2 is the slope
(x1,y1) = (7,-8) is the point the line goes through</span>
