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!

The population of a town can be modeled by P= 22,000 + 125t, where P represents the population and the t represents the number o
nlexa [21]
Given that the population can be modeled by P=22000+125t, to get the number of years after which the population will be 26000, we proceed as follows:
P=26000
substituting this in the model we get:
26000=22000+125t
solving for t we get:
t=4000/125
t=32
therefore t=32 years
This means it will take 32 years for the population to be 32 years. Thus the year in the year 2032

Eva and emily can clean the entire house in 4 hours. Eva can do it by herself in 6 hours. How long would it take emily to do it
aksik [14]
Let x = the number of hours Eva needs to complete the job
and y = the number of hours Emily needs to complete the job

x = 6
1/x + 1/y = 1/4
(The amount of work Eva does in 1 hr + the amount of work Emily does in 1 hr should equal 1/4 of the total work)
1/6 + 1/y = 1/4
1/y = 1/12
y = 12 hours
Emily would take 12 hours to do it by herself.
