Answer:

Father's age is 50, Son's age is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y=60

X-Y= 40

Let X represent the Father's age while Y represents the Son's age;

therefore, from the two equations, the value of X is

X= 60-Y

X= 40+Y  then putting in the value of x

(40+Y) + Y= 60,

40+2Y=60

2Y=60-40 =20

Y= 10,

Now that we know the value of Y, we can get the value of x

If X+Y=60, then

X+10=60,

X=60-10,

X= 50

Answer:

Father = 50 years old

Son = 10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Father's age = x

The sum of their age is 60 years old.

Son's age = 60 - x

Given that their difference is 40 years old.

x - (60 - x) = 40

x - 60 + x = 40

2x - 60 = 40

2x = 100

x = 50

Father's age

= x

= 50 years old

Son's age

= 60 - x

= 60 - 50

= 10 years old

Zen spent $255 on a bag and a belt. She wanted to buy another
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

A)$ 45

B) $105

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag and a belt cost $255

Let bag = x

Let belt = y

X+y= 255 equation 1

Let total money be z first

Remaining money= z-255

X-30 = z-255

Y +15 = z-255

Equating the left side of the equation

X+30 = y+15

X-y= 45 equation 2

Solving simultaneously

X+y= 255

X-y= 45

2x = 300

X= 150

If x= 150

150-y= 45

150-45= y

105=y

Bag = $150

Belt = $105

Bag Is 150-105 more than the belt

150-105= $45

Reflect (-1, 4) over the x-axis.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

(- 1, - 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

under a reflection in the x- axis

a point (x, y ) → (x, - y ) , then

(- 1, 4 ) → (- 1, - 4 )

a translation of 3 units up means adding 3 to the y- coordinate , so

(- 1, - 4 ) → (- 1, - 4 + 3 ) → (- 1, - 1 )
