Answer:

The present age of my Father is 92 years  .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Twelve years ago my father was twice as old as I was .

Three years ago our combined age was 138.

Now, From The statement

Let The age of my father = F

And The age of my = S

According to question

F - 12 = 2 × (S - 12)

Or, F - 12 = 2 S - 24

Or, 2 S - F = 24 - 12

∴ 2 S - F = 12                ..........1

Again

(F - 3) + (S - 3) = 138

Or, F + S - 6 = 138

Or, F + S = 138 + 6

∴  F + S = 144                 ...........2

Now, Solving equation 1 and 2

I.e (F + S) + (2 S - F) = 144 + 12

Or, (F - F) + (S + 2 S) = 156

Or, 0 + 3 S = 156

∴  S = \frac{156}{3}

I.e S = 52 years

So, The age of my = S = 52 years

Putting the value of S in Eq 2

I.e   F + S = 144  

or,  F + 52 = 144

Or, F = 144 - 52

∴    F = 92 years

So, The age of my father = F = 92 years

Hence The present age of my Father is 92 years  . Answer

Circle T is shown. Angle Q S R intercepts arc Q R. Angle Q S R is 52 degrees. What is the measure of arc Q R? 26° 52° 104° 128°
victus00 [196]

Answer:

104 degrees'

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

According to the theorem;

Angle at the vertex is half the angle at its intercepted arc

Given

Angle at the vertex = 52 degrees

Angle at the intercepted arc = arc QR

Hence;

52 = 1/2 arcQR

Cross multiply

52 * 2 = arcQR

104 = arc QR

Swap

arc QR = 104 degrees'

Which of the lines below is parallel to a line with a slope of 3 and a y-intercept at (0, 3)?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

\displaystyle line\:HJ

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle y = 3x + 3

The descryption gives you the above <em>Slope-Intercept Equation</em>. Parallel equations have SIMILAR <em>RATE</em><em> </em><em>OF</em><em> </em><em>CHANGES</em><em> </em>[<em>SLOPES</em>], therefore \displaystyle 3 remains as is, and perfourming \displaystyle \frac{rise}{run}, will give you that answer.

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
