Answer:  The required age of Simran is 15 years and her father is 45 years.  

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that right now, Simran's father is three times as old as Simran and five years ago, he was four times as  old as Simran.

We are to find the present ages of Simran and her father.

Let x and y represents the present ages of Simran and her father respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

y=3x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y-5=4(x-4)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Substituting the value of y from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

y-5=4(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow 3x-5=4x-20\\\\\Rightarrow 4x-3x=20-5\\\\\Rightarrow x=15.

From equation (i), we get

y=3\times15=45.

Thus, the required age of Simran is 15 years and her father is 45 years.

Hello,

Let's f the age of the father
s the age of Simran

f=3*s

HELP !! a sandwich shop purchases a used pizza oven for $875. after 5 years, the oven will have to be discarded and replaced. wr
Sladkaya [172]
<h3>Answer: V = -175t + 875</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

I'll use y in place of V for now. Also, I'll use x in place of t.

x = number of years

y = value of the oven

Initially, the oven's value is $875, so x = 0 and y = 875 pair up together. The point (0,875) is on the line.

The point (5, 0) is also on the line to indicate that x = 5 years later is when the value of the oven is y = 0 dollars.

We need to find the equation of the line through (0,875) and (5,0)

First we'll need the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-875)/(5-0)

m = -175

The negative slope means the oven is losing 175 dollars in value each year.

The y intercept is b = 875 as this is the initial value of the oven

Put together, y = mx+b turns into y = -175x+875

If we plugged x = 0 into this equation, we'd get y = 875

Similarly, plugging x = 5 into y = -175x+875 leads to y = 0. This helps check we have the right equation

Lastly, replace x with t and replace y with V to end up with V = -175t + 875 which is our final answer.
