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
f-5=4*(s-5)
==>3s-5=4s-20
==>s=15
f=3*15=45

Steph makes scones in three flavours: cheese, fruit and plain. She makes: • 4 times as many fruit scones as cheese scones, • 3 t
lakkis [162]

Answer:

£6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Plain scones = x

Cheese scones = 3x

Fruits scones = 4(3x)

= 12x

Total price of scones = £96

She sells each scone for the same price.

Total price of scones = Plain scones + Cheese scones + Fruits scones

96 = x + 3x + 12x

96 = 16x

Divide both sides by 16

x = 96/16

= 6

Plain scones = x = £6

Cheese scones = 3x

= 3(6)

= £18

Fruits scones = 4(3x)

= 12x

= 12(6)

= £72

How much does she make from the sale of the plain scones?

She made £6 from the plain scones

the height can be given as

AB = a sin theta

here a = 4 and theta is 60 so

AB = 4 sin 60 = 4 × √3/2 = 2√3

so area of a parallelogram is

= base × height

= 7 × 2√3 = 14√3

. Which of the following is the correct algebraic representation of the translation below?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

D) (x+6, y+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start with the top corner of triangle A

Then count up 5 units and right 6 units

Because you count vertically 5 units that means you're using the y-axis, And because you're counting up, than means the values are positive.

And because you count horizontally 6 units you're using the x-axis, And you are counting to the right so the values are positive.

Down vertically=Negative Y-axis Values. Up vertically=Positive Y-axis Values

Right horizontally=Positive X-axis values. Left horizontally=Negative X-axis Values
