Answer:

son is 12

dad is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the son is x years old.

Then the father is 3x. Also 3x+x must be 48.

So 4x = 48 => x= 48/4 = 12

Let x be how old the son is. We know that the dad is 3 times older and their sum is 48. Creating an equation to represent this situation gives us:

x+3x=48

4x=48

Divide both sides by 4

x=12

The son is 12 years old, but we want to find the age of the dad. Since we know the dad is 3 times older, multiply 12 with 3

12 \times 3 = 36

The dad is 36 years old. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

A dog trainer has 104 ft of fencing that will be use to create a rectangular work area for dogs. If the trainer wants to enclose
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of the work area in feet

y-----> the width of the work area in feet

we know that

The perimeter of the work area is equal to

104=2(x+y)

simplify

52=(x+y)

y=52-x ----> equation A

The area of the work area is equal to

576=xy ---> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

576=x(52-x)

576=52x-x^2

x^2-52x+576=0

solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solutions are

x=16 ft, y=36 ft

or

x=36 ft, y=16 ft

see the attached figure

therefore

The dimensions of the work area are 16 ft by 36 ft
