Answer: 45 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

- Father's age is thrice the sum of ages of his two children

- After five years, his age will be twice the sum of their ages

Let x be the two children's current age and 3x be the father's current age

<u>Solve:</u>

Set equation

3x + 5 = 2 ( x + 10 )

Expand parenthesis

3x + 5 = 2x + 20

Subtract 5 on both sides

3x + 5 - 5 = 2x + 20 - 5

3x = 2x + 15

Subtract 2x on both sides

3x - 2x = 15

x = 15

15 × 3 = 45 years old

Hope this helps!! :)

PLEASE HELP! 8 POINTS!! Find the value
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

-sqrt(3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use double angle identity for sin(2x)

sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)

We are given sin(x)=-1/2 so we already have so far that:

sin(2x)=2(-1/2)cos(x)

sin(2x)=-1*cos(x)

We just need to find cos(x).  

x is in the fourth quadrant so cosine will be positive there

knowing the unit circle we should know that if sin(x)=-1/2 then cos(x)=sqrt(3)/2 while in 4th quadrant.

So the answer is sin(2x)=-1*sqrt(3)/2=-sqrt(3)/2
