9d - 5 = 4d + 35
9d (-4d) - 5 (+5) = 4d (-4d) + 35 (+5)
5d = 40
5d/5 = 40/5
d = 8
hope this helps
"Two significant figures" means that a digit after the second one could actually be anything ... it wasn't measured. 'X' could be anything from 230 to 239. 'Y' could be anything from 400 to 409.
The greatest possible value of that fraction is. (239)/(409 squared) .
The answer correct answer is 80.5
x - Ram's age now
Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:
2x - Ram's father age now
x - 10 - Ram's age ten years ago
2x - 10 - Ram's father age ten years ago
ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:
2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)
2x - 10 = 3x - 30
-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x
20 = x
2x = 2•20 = 40
Answer:
<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>
