6/(x-8)=2/(x+6)
times both sides by (x-8)(x+6)
6(x+6)=2(x-8)
distribute
6x+36=2x-16
minus 2x both sides
4x+36=-16
miinus 36 both sides
4x=-52
divide both sides by 4
x=-13
Answer:
Son's age is 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Father's age be 2x.
Let the son's age be x.
Five years ago:
Man's age will be = 2x - 5
Son's age will be = x - 5
If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then:
2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4
⇒ 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)
⇒ 8x - 20 = 9x - 45
⇒ -20 + 45 = 9x - 8x
⇒ 25 = x
∴ x = 25
Hence, the son's age = 25 years
If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50 years

Answer:
h = 6 cm
l = (32-2(6)) = 20 cm
w = (40-2(6)) = 28 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question a piece of cardboard having dimensions 32 by 40
Suppose we cut square of length x
When you cut square corners from a piece of cardboard, two sides are 32-2x, and other two sides are 40-2x lengths
<h3>Step 1</h3>
Formula for the volume of box
v = height * length * width
v = x (32-2x) (40-2x)
v = 4x³ - 144x² + 1280x
<h3>Step 2</h3>
Find derivative and equal it to 0
dv/dx = 4(3)x² - (2)144x + 1280
0 = 12x² - 288x + 1280
x1 = 18.110
x2 =5.88
<h3>Step 3</h3>
Select x and plug value of x to find dimension
(32-2x) > 0
2x < 32
x < 16
so domain say that x should be less than 16 which means x = 5.88 ≈ 6 cm
h = 6 cm
l = (32-2(6)) = 20 cm
w = (40-2(6)) = 28 cm
