Answer:

Hey there!

Let the son's age be x.

Thus, the man's age is x+26, and can also be represented by 3x+8.

x+26=3x+8

x+18=3x

18=2x

x=9

The son is nine years old.

Hope this helps :)

Gina puts $ 4500 into an account earning 7.5% interest compounded continuously. How long will it take for the amount in the acco

Elza [17]

$~~~~~~ \textit{Continuously Compounding Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=Pe^{rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$5150\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$4500\\ r=rate\to 7.5\%\to \frac{7.5}{100}\dotfill &0.075\\ t=years \end{cases}$

$5150=4500e^{0.075\cdot t} \implies \cfrac{5150}{4500}=e^{0.075t}\implies \cfrac{103}{90}=e^{0.075t} \\\\\\ \log_e\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=\log_e(e^{0.075t})\implies \log_e\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=0.075t \\\\\\ \ln\left( \cfrac{103}{90} \right)=0.075t\implies \cfrac{\ln\left( \frac{103}{90} \right)}{0.075}=t\implies\stackrel{\textit{about 1 year and 291 days}}{ 1.8\approx t}$
