Ali's solution is incorrect.

Ali had to add both the terms and should get 10y answer, and not multiply both terms and get answer 9y^2 which is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ali simplifies the expression 9y+y to 9y2. We need to identify if Ali's solution is correct or incorrect.

Ali's solution is incorrect.

Reason:

We are given the expression: 9y+y

When we add two like terms ( terms having the same variable and exponent), we add the coefficients of both like terms.

In our case 9y+y = 10y

Whereas Ali has done multiplication of both terms and not addition.

In multiplication we add the exponents of the same variables i.e 9y+y = 9y^2

So, Ali had to add both the terms and should get 10y answer, and not multiply both terms and get answer 9y^2 which is wrong.

Answer:

ali's solution is incorrect

9y+y is the same as 9y+1y

9y^2 is the same as 9y x y

9y+y simplifies to 10y.

A father’s age now is three times the age that his son was 4 years ago. In
Mice21 [21]
Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.

4 years ago, the son was:

s-4

So, his father is currently:

3(s-4)

=

3s-12

Therefore:

f = 3s-12

In twelve years, the son will be:

s+12

And the father will be:

f+12

This can also be written as:

3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12

=

3s

So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36

Son’s current age: 36

We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.

2(24)+24 = 72

Father’s current age: 72
