Answer:
The son is 20
The man is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up this equation with what we know. Let <em>m</em> stand for the Man's current age, and let <em>s</em> stand for his son's current age.
We know the Man's current age is three times that of his son, so this equation can be written as: <em>m = 3s</em>
Ten years ago means the man's current age <em>minus</em> 10 years. So it is <em>m-10</em>. So ten years ago he was 5 times his son's age 10 years ago, <em>5(s-10)</em>
This can be written as: <em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
Solve with either substitution or elimination, the choice is yours, it doesn't really matter which method you use. I'll be using substitution.
<em>m-10=5(s-10)</em>
<em>3s-10= 5s-50</em>
<em>40=2s</em>
<em>20 = s</em>
The son is <em>20</em> years old.
We know the man is currently 3 times his son's age, because <em>m=3s</em>, so just solve for m since you now know the value of <em>s.</em>
<em>m=3s</em>
<em>m=3(20)</em>
<em>m=60</em>
The man is <em>60</em> years old
Answer:
1,080,000
Step-by-step explanation:
==> First divide 78 by 26
==> answer = 3
==> 135,000×2 = 270,000
==> 270,000 × 2 = 540,000
==> 540,000 × 2 = 1,080,000
==> 1,080,000
Answer: 3/8
because 3/8 is .375
And 3/4 is .75
And 1/6 is .1666
1/2 is .50
3/8 is closest
Answer:
46°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the 3 sides are given we can use any of the 3 trig. ratios to solve.
Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle
tan ? = 
= 
, thus
? = 
( ) ≈ 46° ( to the nearest degree )
