Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
Answer:
3 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
6,240/3=2080
6,240/9=693.3333333.....
6,240/780
Slope= -3/2
Y-intercept=33/2
If you can graph in slope intercept, your new equations would be: y= -2x-1 and y= 2/3x-3.
Just graph those now since it should be easier.
Answer is –4/5
Rearrange the equation to make y the subject
5y = –4x – 35
y = –4/5 x – 7
If the line is parallel to the other line, they both have the same gradients but different y-intercepts, so the gradient is just as is.
