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

A triangle has an area of 221.16 in.² the height of the triangle is 29.1 inches what is the length of the base of the triangle
Zigmanuir [339]
The formula you should use is Area = 1/2bh, in other words, area equals half times base times height. Now, substitute everything in, the equation should now be 221.16 = 1/2*b*29.1. This simplifies into 221.16 = 14.55b, now divide 14.55 on both sides, which leaves us to 15.2 = b. However, don't forget the units, which the answer (length of base) should be 15.2 in.^2.
