Answer:

Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,

   S = his son's present age.

First equation  is

L + S = 38.       (1)

The second equation is  

L + 3 = 3*(S+3)   (2)   ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")

From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You  will get

L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3),   or

L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,

4L = 114 + 9 - 3,  

4L = 120,

L = 30.

Answer:

  f(x) and h(x) have the same maximum value: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum value of f(x) is 3 at (π, 3).

The maximum value of g(x) is -2 at (-3, -2).

Please help me with these 19 and 20 and tell me what you use to get the answer
ss7ja [257]
36 + h = 75...subtract 36 from both sides
h = 75 - 36
h = 39

-176 = h + (-219)
-176 = h - 219....add 219 to both sides
219 - 176 = h
43 = h
