x = the age of his son now, then the age of the father is 4x.

In 20 years,

son's age = x + 20

father's age = 4x + 20

solve the equation for x:

4x + 20 = 2(x + 20)

4x + 20 = 2x + 40

2x = 20

x = 10

So the age of his son now is 10, and the age of the the father now is 40.

Mai and Priya were on scooters. Mai traveled 15 meters in 6 seconds. Priya travels 22 meters in 10 seconds. Who was moving faste
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Mai was moving faster.

As, she covered a greater distance in the same amount of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mai traveled 15 meters in 6 seconds and Priya travels 22 meters in 10 second.

Calculate the speed of both;

Speed defined as the rate at which an object covers distance.

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

Mai traveled 15 meters in 6 seconds

then;

Speed = \frac{15}{6} = 2.5 m/s

Priya travels 22 meters in 10 second.

then;

Speed = \frac{22}{10} = 2.2 m/s

Reason: Mai traveled faster because she covered a greater distance in the same amount of time.

The fare for taxi journeys in a certain town is $2.00 plus $1.00 for each kilometre. Using this information, estimate: (i) The f
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the journey initially costs $2 (this will be our y-intercept), and the variable (x) is $1 for every additional kilometer. This can be modelled as...

y=1x+2

(i) if we want to know the cost of what 3.5 km would cost, we simply plug it into our equation...

y=1(3.5)+2

Answer: $5.5

(ii) For this question you can set the y value equal to 6 and plug in a random number for x until you get 6 on both sides. In this case...

6=1x+2

6=1(4)+2

The distance traveled if the fare was $6 is 4km

I hope this helps you! When I was younger I used to use this site for help and now I'm paying it forward!
