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

Which zero pair could be added to the function f(x)=x^2+12x+6 so that the function can be written in vertex form?
andrew11 [14]
<span>f(x) = x</span>² <span>+ 12x + 6  </span>→ y = x² + 12x + 6<span>

Let us convert the standard form into vertex form.

1) Complete the squares. Isolate x</span>² and x terms.
<span>y - 6 = x</span>² + 12x
<span>
2) Create the perfect square trinomial. Whatever number is added on one side must also be added on the other side. 

y - 6 + 36 = x</span>² + 12x + 36<span>
y + 30 = (x + 6)</span>²
<span>y = (x + 6)</span>² - 30  ← Vertex form
<span>
To check:

y = (x + 6) (x + 6) - 30
y = x</span>² + 6x + 6x + 36 - 30
<span>y = x</span>² + 12x + 6<span>

The zero that could be added to the given function is 36, -36</span>

Zamira and Courtney share a 16 oz box of cereal. By the end of the week, Zamira has eaten 38 of the box, and Courtney has eaten
12345 [234]

Answer:

12/25 ths of the box is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you mean 14% and 38%

If so then the first thing you'd do is put 38 and fourteen over 100 such as:

38/100 and 14/100.  You do that because since its a percentage, its the same as the number of that percentage over 100.

Since you now have like terms, you can add them together, in which you add the two numerators (top row), but leaving the denominator (bottom row) the same, and it would give you:

52/100

What you want to do after that is simplify it. Once you simplify it, the simplified version of this is technically still the same as the non-simplified version, just easier to use.

Once you simplify it once, you will get:

26/50 and then if you simplify it again, you'll get 13/25

KEEP IN MIND that this is the amount that HAS BEEN EATEN ALREADY.

After that, you wan to subtract your part from your whole meaning you'd subtract: 25/25 - 13/25

Going back to earlier, you subtract the numerator and leave the denominator the same ONLY because they have like terms(The DENOMINATORS match)

After subtracting, you will get an answer of 12/25ths, which cannot be further simplified either.

Hope this helped!
