Answer: 46 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:
Father = x - 3
son = y - 3
Then , from the first statement :
x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )
x - 3 = 3y - 9
x = 3y - 9 + 3
x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1
In five years time
father = x + 5
son = y + 5
Then , from the second statement
x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )
x + 5 = 2y + 10
x = 2y + 10 - 5
x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have
3y -6 = 2y + 5
add 6 to both sides
3y = 2y + 5 + 6
subtract 2y from both sides
3y - 2y = 11
y = 11
substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(11) - 6
x = 33 - 6
x = 27
This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.
In four years time
father = 27 + 4 = 31
son = 11 + 4 = 15
sum of their ages in four years time will be
31 + 15 = 46 years
4 = y - 4
You need to add 4 on each side and you will get 8 which means that y is equal to 8.
4 = y - 4
+4 +4
8=y
Answer:
If it's where they can get to the building I think it's 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Cause 10 plus 5 and if that can reach where they are able to get in I'd assume it would be 15

<span>the line over the 28 means the 28 repeats forever.
1.282828.... and so on
let x be the rational number 1.28...
we can use this trick:
100*1.282828....= 128.282828... (the decimal 28 part repeats)
100x = 128.28...
next:
100x - x = 128.282828... - 1.282828...
the .282828... part will be subtracted away
99x = 127
divide both sides by 99 to get
x= 127/99</span>
