Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you have to make a system of equations.
Since the father and son's age sum up to 60, the first equation will be:
f + s = 60
Secondly, since the father's age is 5 times the age of the son 6 years ago the equation will be:
6 - (5s) = f
Now, you have to solve the first equation to let it equal to s
f + s = 60
f = 60 - s
Plug in
6 - 5s = 60 - s
+s +s
6 - 4s = 60
-6 -6
---------------------
-4s = 54
----- -----
-4 -4
s ≅ 14
14 + 6 = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
x=volume of the glass
(1/3)x+63=(5/8)x
63=(5/8)x-(1/3)x
63=(15/24)x-(8/24)x
63=(7/24)x
multiply both sides by 24/7
(24/7)(63)=(24/7)(7/24)x
216=x
216 cm3 is the volume (answer)
1/3 of 216 is 72
72+63=135
135/216=0.625=5/8
Answer:
p =2 p=-18
Step-by-step explanation:
|p+8|
-------------- = 5
2
Multiply each side by 2
|p+8|
-------------*2 = 5*2
2
|p+8| =10
There is a positive and a negative solution
p+8=10 p+8=-10
Subtract 8 from each side
p+8-8=10-8 p+8-8=-10-8
p =2 p=-18
