Let x = Parent's age now y = son's age now
Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago
y-5 = son's age five years ago
So, x-5 = 5(y-5)
Simplify to get x - 5y = -20
Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8
Son's age 8 years from now = y+8
So, x+8 = 3(y+8)
Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16
We have the system of equations: x - 5y = -20
x - 3y = 16
Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36
y = 18
x = 70
Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.
Answer:
2 - √3
Step-by-step explanation:
tan45 = 1
tan60 = √3
2 tan 45 - tan 60
2(1) - √3
=> 2 - √3
Answer: 24, 33
2.5, 4.75
9.5, 11.75
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
It is given that the PERIMETER is BETWEEN 24 and 33
--> 24 < P < 33
Graph: O------------------O
24 33
Perimeter = 2w + 2L
It is given that L = w + 7
Substitute P with 2w + 2L and substitute L with w + 7
24 < 2w + 2(w + 7) < 33
24 < 2w + 2w + 14 < 33
10 < 4w < 19
--> 2.5 < w < 4.75
Graph: O--------------------------O
2.5 4.75
Since L = w + 7, then w = L - 7
Substitute P with 2w + 2L and substitute w with L - 7
24 < 2(L - 7) + 2L < 33
24 < 2L + 2L - 14 < 33
38 < 4L < 47
--> 9.5 < L < 11.75
Graph: O------------------------O
9.5 11.75
