Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you have to make a system of equations.
Since the father and son's age sum up to 60, the first equation will be:
f + s = 60
Secondly, since the father's age is 5 times the age of the son 6 years ago the equation will be:
6 - (5s) = f
Now, you have to solve the first equation to let it equal to s
f + s = 60
f = 60 - s
Plug in
6 - 5s = 60 - s
+s +s
6 - 4s = 60
-6 -6
---------------------
-4s = 54
----- -----
-4 -4
s ≅ 14
14 + 6 = 20
22 quarters= $5.50
10 dimes= $1.00
$5.50 + $1.00 = $6.50
I just did trial and error. I started with 20 quarters and made changes until it worked.
Answer:
(7m + 63)/3x = k
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>m=3kx/7 - 9</em>
<u><em>add 9 to both sides:</em></u>
m+ 9 = 3kx/7
<u><em>multiply both sides by 7:</em></u>
7(m+9) = 3kx
<u><em>distribute the 7:</em></u>
7m+63 = 3kx
<u><em>divide both sides by 3x:</em></u>
<u>(7m + 63)/3x = k</u>
