So dad is represented by x
son is represented by y

so x is (x=) 7 times his son (7y)

our first sentence is x=7y

10 years later (x+10, y+10) he will be 3 times as old as his son (x+10=3(y+10))
or 10+x=3(y+10)

so our sentences are
x=7y
and
x+10=3(y+10)
first we subsitute x=7y for x in the second equation
(7y)+10=3(y+10)
7y+10=3(y+10)
we distribute
7y+10=3y+30
subtract 3y from both sides
4y+10=30
subtract 10 from both sides
4y=20
divide both sides by 4
y=5

the son is currently 5 years old
x=7y
subsitute y=5 for y in equation
x=7(5)
x=35
the dad is currently 35 years old
in 10 years
dad is 45 and son is 15



dad=35
son=5

The height after t seconds of an object projected upward with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second from a 210-foot tower ca
svetlana [45]

Given:

The height h of an object after t seconds is

h=-16t^2+48t+210

The height of a neighboring 50-foot tall building is modeled by the equation h=50.

The time (t) when the object will be at the same height as the building is found to be t = –2 and t = 5.

To find:

The statement which describes the validity of these solutions.

Solution:

We have,

h=-16t^2+48t+210

Here, t is the time in seconds.

For t=-2,

h=-16(2)^2+48(-2)+210

h=-64-96+210

h=50

For t=5,

h=-16(5)^2+48(5)+210

h=-400+240+210

h=50

So, the value of h is 50 at t=-2 and t=5.

We know that time is always positive so it cannot be negative value. It means t=-2 is not possible.

The solution t = 5 is the only valid solution to this system since time cannot be negative.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

You would start by doing 
4 × 5 = 20
Then,
 20 × -2 = 40 

So your answer is -40
