Let’s say son’s age = S
Dad’s age = D
4 years ago, the son was (S-4) and dad now is three times that so D=3(S-4)
Expand that to get D=3S-12

In 12 years, the son will be (S + 12)
Dad will also be (D + 12) and he will be two times the sons age at that point so:
D + 12 = 2(S + 12)
Expand the right side:
D +12 = 2S + 24
Subtract 12 from both sides:
D = 2S + 12
So now D = 2S + 12 AND
D = 3S - 12
Since both equations equal “D”, they must then equal each other:
2S + 12 = 3S - 12
Do some algebra and you get S = 24
Plug this back into EITHER “D=“ equations to find D
D=2(24) +12
D=60

Drew wrote a four digit number less than 2000. The sum of its digit is 20. Only the digits in the ones place and hundreds place
jeka94
He wrote the number 1892, because:

The number needs to be less than 2000, with four digits. Because the first is half the last, it means that the number must be 1??2.

These two numbers add up to 3, and all together, they need to add to 20. 20-3=17. The remaining numbers need to add to 17.

The only two single digit numbers that can add to 17, are 8 and 9. Therefore, the number must either be 1892 or 1982.

The second digit needs to be even, meaning that the number has to be 1892.

I hope this helps.

Write the expression as the sine, cosine, or tangent of an angle.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

tan56°

Step-by-step explanation:

The Addition identity for tangent ratio is

tan(x + y) = \frac{tanx+tany}{1-tanxtany} , thus

\frac{tan24+tan32}{1-tan24tan32} = tan(24 + 32)° = tan56°
