Let x = Parent's age now y = son's age now
Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago
y-5 = son's age five years ago
So, x-5 = 5(y-5)
Simplify to get x - 5y = -20
Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8
Son's age 8 years from now = y+8
So, x+8 = 3(y+8)
Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16
We have the system of equations: x - 5y = -20
x - 3y = 16
Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36
y = 18
x = 70
Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.
Answer:
-4/8
Step-by-step explanation:
that's what my math says
Answer: 48
Step-by-step explanation: COB and DOA are vertical angles. This means the two of them have the same measure. Because we know the measuremen of DOA, we can easily find the measuremen for COB since these angles are the same, so COB is 48 degrees.
Here is the correct order of the step:
Identify: Anna's time is the unknown
Strategize : let x = Anna's time
Set up : 7(40) = x(50)
Solve: x = 5.6
Check: 7(40) = 5.6(50)
<h3>What is Anna's time?</h3>
The first step is to determine the distance Allen travelled:
Distance = average speed x time
40 x 7 = 280 miles
The second step is to determine the time it took Anna to travel 280 miles.
Time = distance / average speed
280 / 50 = 5.6 hours
