Answer:

If the child is currently 6 years old and the mom is 42, in three years she'll be 45 and he'll be 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The son is y and the mom is x

x=7y

x+3=5(y+3)

7y+3=5y+15

7y=5y+12

2y=12

y=6

Answer:

Mother's present age: 42

Son's present age: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the mother's age

Let y represent the son's age

The mother is currently seven times (×7) older than her son i.e.

x = 7 × y

x = 7y .............. (eqn 1)

In three years time i.e. the mother and son's age plus three (3)

x + 3 and y + 3

The mother will be 5 times (×5) older i.e.

x + 3 = 5 × (y + 3)

x + 3 = 5(y + 3)

x + 3 = 5y + 15

Collect like terms

x = 5y + 12 ........... (eqn 2)

Since x = 7y in eqn 1, we substitute x in eqn 2 i.e.

7y = 5y + 12

7y - 5y = 12

2y = 12

y = 6

Since y=6, we substitute 6 in eqn 1

x = 7y

x = 7 × 6

x = 42

Hence, the present age of the mother and her son are 42 and 6 respectively.

Scientific understandings can change as new information is discovered. Which is an example of how scientific understandings have
Tresset [83]

Answer:

E. People once thought animals were individually create by some superior.

But the solid creation of theory of origin of species by the naturalist Charles Darwin demonstrated a different theory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before Charles Darwin several scientists were discussing the hypothesis of a theory of evolution. But it was Darwin whom put together all the information with reliable explanation and correlation between animal specialization and environment accordyinly with time.

He spent almost five years on board the ship HMS Beagle, crossing several continents, starting with South America. From there, he returned with dozens of specimens of living species, illustrations and fossils. Those specimens helped Darwin in his discoveries which originated the book On the Origin of Species published in 1859.

Answer:

f^{-1}(x)=25(x-2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function can be found by solving ...

  f(y) = x

  (√y)/5 +2 = x

  (√y)/5 = x -2 . . . . . subtract 2

  √y = 5(x -2) . . . . . . multiply by 5

  y = 25(x -2)² . . . . . square both sides

The inverse function is ...

  f^{-1}(x)=25(x-2)^2

_____

<em>About the graph</em>

The inverse of a function is its mirror image across the line y = x.
