Let Cameron's age be c, and Cameron's uncle's age be u.

Cameron's uncle is 3 times as old as he is: u = 3c.

Four years ago, his uncle was 4 times older: u - 4 = 4(c - 4).

Now solve this system:

u = 3c

u - 4 = 4(c - 4)

Substitute 3c for u into the second equation and solve for c.

u - 4 = 4(c - 4)

3c - 4 = 4(c - 4)

3c - 4 = 4c - 16

-c - 4 = -16

-c = -12

c = 12

Answer:

Cameron is 12.

Let Cameron be x years old now.

-

<u>Now:</u>

Cameron = x

Uncle =3x

-

<u>4 years ago:</u>

Cameron = x - 4

Uncle = 3x - 4

-

<u>4 years ago, Uncle is 4 times older:</u>

3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)

-

<u>Find x:</u>

3x - 4 = 4(x - 4)

3x - 4 = 4x - 16

4x - 3x = 16 - 4

x = 12

-

<u>Find the age:</u>

Cameron = x = 12

-

Answer: Cameron is 12 years old now.

So what you got to do is divide them perseay use a calculator for the first one 2/15 what would that be in a decimal 0.13333333333333 what ever on has 0.13333333  or something else repeating that is the one that you will circle 11/20=0.55   17/40 =0.425 1/2=0.5 so you answer would be 2/15

Simplify 2x – 9y + 4x + 11y by combining like terms and then evaluate at x = -2<br> and y = 4.
Mashcka [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

= 2x - 9y + 4x + 11y

First of all combining like terms

So

= 2x + 4x - 9y + 11y

= 6x + 2y

Now putting values

= 6 (-2) + 2(4)

= - 12 + 8

= - 4

The mass of substances left in a sample
professor190 [17]

This question tests one's knowledge of states of matter. Kim would have to classify the water as gaseous matter in this case.

<h3>Why should Kim classify the water as gaseous?</h3>

Remember, she boiled all the liquid away. Hence in their evaporated state, the water now assumes a gaseous form.

Matter can exist in various states. They are:

  • Solids;
  • Liquids;
  • Gaseous;
  • Plasma; and
  • Bose-Einstein condensate. (which is Man-made).

How do you multiply hundreds by tens?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

to multiply any number by 10, just tag ONE zero on the end. To multiply any number by 100, just tag TWO zeros on the end. To multiply any number by 1,000, just tag THREE zeros on the end. Note especially what happens when the number you multiply already ends in a zero or zeros.

In right triangle ABC, the measure of angle A is 25 degrees, angle c is 90 degrees, and AB = 1. what is the length of AC?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

b= 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

first you find angle B: 180-90-25=65

then you will do law of sine- sin A/a=sin B/b=sin C/c

sin(90)/1=sin 65/b

sin(90)*b=sin(65)*1

sin(90)*b=0.9

b=0.9/sin(90)

b= 0.9
