Answer:
Son's age is 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Father's age be 2x.
Let the son's age be x.
Five years ago:
Man's age will be = 2x - 5
Son's age will be = x - 5
If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then:
2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4
⇒ 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)
⇒ 8x - 20 = 9x - 45
⇒ -20 + 45 = 9x - 8x
⇒ 25 = x
∴ x = 25
Hence, the son's age = 25 years
If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50 years
Answer: x=-12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
4x+27=−33−x
4x+27=−33+−x
4x+27=−x−33
Step 2: Add x to both sides.
x+27+x=−x−33+x
5x+27=−33
Step 3: Subtract 27 from both sides.
5x+27−27=−33−27
5x=−60
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
x=−12
Answer:
IT'S (x+9)(x-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
The plane would be 100 feet long. if the scale is 1/100 and the model is 1 ft you would take 1 x 100 to get 100 feet.
