Answer: The son is 30 and the mother is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother's age = m

Son's age  = s

m = s + 30

m-15 = 3(s - 15)

m - 15 = 3s - 45

m = 3s - 30

(Substitution)

s + 30 = 3s - 30

2s = 60

s = 30

m = 60

Hope it helps <3

Trick question---

Just kidding I think that 15 years ago his mother was 45

he was 15 and now he is 30 and she is 60.

literally sat here thinking that 30 is ruled out, and 60 would be 20 but then she'd be too old, suddenly it clicked, if you said he'd be half her age now, it'd be to easy, because half her age now would be 30 and it'd give the answer straight away.

You or your teacher has a big percentage of the brain used. I respect.

Is how many student passed the math test a statistical question
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

No it is not statistical

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be statistical if the answers varied which in this case they don't because there is a certain amount of people that passed and the answers do not vary. However, asking what was your score is statistical because answers will vary.

A rabbit population doubles every 4 weeks. There are currently five rabbits in a restricted area. If t represents the time, in w
My name is Ann [436]
First, you have to find how many weeks are in 98 and to do so, you would divide it by 7. which turns out to be 14. If you divide 14 by 4 you'll find that their population will double 3 times, but not 3.5 because it is every 4 full weeks.
The equation will look like this, however, I'm not completely certain about the format. I'm using the formula for exponential growth
P(t)=r(2)^t
I did use t as weeks, but for every 4 weeks. R is the number of rabbits. If we were to input our information, we'd get:
P(3)=5(2)^3
If you work it out, you get 40 rabbits. In 14 weeks, the rabbits will double 3 times, so if we were to just figure it out without using the formula, we could double 5 which is 10, double it again, which is 20, and then double it a third time. which is 40.
