Answer: z = 280

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables are directly proportional, it means that an increase in the value of one variable causes an increase in the value of the other variable. Also, a decrease in the value of one variable causes an decrease in the value of the other variable.

The variable z is directly proportional to x. If we introduce a constant of variation, the expression would be

z = kx

When x is 10, z has the value 140. It means that

140 = 10k

k = 140/10

k = 14

The equation becomes

z = 14x

the value of z when x = 20 is

z = 14 × 20

z = 280

The mother's age is 8 times her son's age. After 6 years, the age of the mother will be 9/2 times her son's age. The present age
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

son = 6 mother = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Mother = m

son = s

m = 8s

m+6 = 9/2 * (s+6)

so

2(8s + 6) = 9(s +6)

16s + 12 = 9s + 54

16s - 9s = 54 - 12

7s = 42

s = 42/7 = 6 years old

so the mother is 8s = 8*6= 48 years old
