Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be y, y+2, y+4
3(y+2)=153
3y+6=153
3y=153-6
3y=147
y=49
y+2=51
y+4=53
Answer:
The son is 20
The man is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up this equation with what we know. Let <em>m</em> stand for the Man's current age, and let <em>s</em> stand for his son's current age.
We know the Man's current age is three times that of his son, so this equation can be written as: <em>m = 3s</em>
Ten years ago means the man's current age <em>minus</em> 10 years. So it is <em>m-10</em>. So ten years ago he was 5 times his son's age 10 years ago, <em>5(s-10)</em>
This can be written as: <em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
Solve with either substitution or elimination, the choice is yours, it doesn't really matter which method you use. I'll be using substitution.
<em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
<em>3s-10= 5s-50</em>
<em>40=2s</em>
<em>20 = s</em>
The son is <em>20</em> years old.
We know the man is currently 3 times his son's age, because <em>m=3s</em>, so just solve for m since you now know the value of <em>s.</em>
<em>m=3s</em>
<em>m=3(20)</em>
<em>m=60</em>
The man is <em>60</em> years old
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3.75 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the weight of the square is x.
The hanger is in balance so the left side is equal to the right side.
Equation therefore is:
Triangle + Square + 3 * circle = 5* square + circle
3 + x + (3 * 6) = 5x + 6
3 + x + 18 = 5x + 6
5x - x = 3 + 18 - 6
4x = 15
x = 15/4
x = 3.75 g
