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

Step-by-step explanation:
D is the correct answer
x+5=10: subtract 5 from both sides the 5 will cancel out leaving x=5
x+5=10
-5 -5
x=5
Answer:
hello,
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
In an isocele triangle, base's angles have the measure:
42+2a=180
2a=180-42
a=69(°)
b)
in a triangle, an external angle has for measure the sum of the angles not adjacents.
55+b=132
b=77 (°)
c)
in a quadrilater the sum of the (interior) angles is 2*180=360 degrees.
90+90+68+c=360
c=360-90-90-68
c=112 (°)
