A man is four times as old as his son. In 3 years, the father will be three times as old as the son. How old is each now?

The man is 27 years old and the son is 9 years old.

We can write the son's age as 'x', and therefore write the man's age as 4x. In 3 years, both their ages will increase by 3, so the son's age is now x + 3, and the man's age is 4x + 3.

We are told that the man is now 3 times older than his son, which means his current age, 4x + 3, is the same as 3 times the son's current age, which is x + 3.

Therefore we can write an equation:

4x + 3 = 3(x + 3)

4x + 3 = 3x + 9

- 3x

x + 3 = 9

- 3

x = 6

We can now substitute this in to find their current ages:

Son's age = x + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9

Man's age = 4x + 3 = 24 + 3 = 27

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

What is the distance between the points (-3, -4) and (5, 2)?
alexandr1967 [171]
Using the picture:

Between (-3, -4) and (5, -4) is:
The difference is in the x units:  5 - (-3) = 5 + 3 = 8

Between (5, 2) and (5, -4) is:
The difference is in the y units:  2 - (-4) = 2 + 4 = 6

We know the shape is a right angled triangle:

By applying Pythagoras' Theorem:

let the hypotenuse be x:

x² = 6² + 8²

x² = 36 + 64

x² = 100

Take square root of both sides

√x²  = √100

x = 10

Distance between the 2 points = 10 units.

Which three lengths could be the lengths of the sides of a triangle? 13 cm, 5 cm, 18 cm 21 cm, 7 cm, 7 cm 8 cm, 23 cm, 11 cm 9 c
Alexeev081 [22]
We can solve this problem using the Triangle Inequality property. The Triangle Inequality property states that the sum of two sides of a triangle will always be greater than the third. That being said, the only answer that works is the last one, which has the answer of 9 cm, 15 cm, and 22 cm.

Answer:

77,936

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean, add up all the numbers, then divide by that amount of numbers. So, 12,274 + 12,368 + 12,544 + 12760 + 12,911 + 13,162 + 13,419 = 89,438/ 7 = 77,936.

Jimmy invests $2000 in a money market account earning 8.5% interest compounded continuously. Which of the following is an equati
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

A=2000e^{0.085t}

Step-by-step explanation:

Make sure you understand the formula for continuous compounding first. The formula is:

A=Pe^{rt} where

A= Total

P= Principal (or the amount invested at beginning)

r= Interest rate (as a decimal)

t= Time (in years)

<em>Note: e is an irrational mathematic number similar to π. Its value is around 2.72, but for these problems, you’ll need to use the version already on your calculator that will be called “</em>e^{x}.” On most calculators, it can be accessed by 2nd → ln.

Find the values that you are given:

A= What you are looking for

P= 2000

r= 8.5% as a decimal = 0.085

t= What you change

Plug these into the equation:

A=2000e^{0.085t}

This is the answer!
