B because they are equal parts
Answer:
son's present age = 30
father's present age=60
Step-by-step explanation:
his son's present age = x years
his father's present age = 2x years
before 20 years his son's age=(x-20) years
before 20 years father's age=(2x-20) years4(x-20)=(2x-20)
4x-80=2x-20
4x-2x=80-20
2x=60
x=30
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x)° + 61° = 180° (interior angle Postulate)
(7x)° = 180° - 61°
(7x)° =119°
7x = 119
Answer:
y=2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify: y-1=2x-6
y-1=2(x-3)
First simplify and distribute everything.
<u>y-1=2x-6</u>
So, x equals 2 because it got distributed into the numbers inside the parenthesis. Same with the 2 and -3. They multiplied to become -6.
Since it's y-1=2x-6, you can simplify it even more so the -1 goes to the other side and turns into positive 1.
<u>y - 1 (+ 1) = 2x -6 (+ 1)</u>
-1(+1)=0 which leaves just the variable y on the <em><u>left side</u></em>.
-6(+1)=-5 which leaves 2x-5 on the <em><u>right side</u></em>.
This results in y=2x-5. Hope this helped ;)
