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!! :)

What is the area of ▴PQR Below
Natalka [10]
The answer C. The slope is negative! See how if you start from the left top side the line is slanting down? That means the the slope is decreasing onwards to infinity. If it was positive (it’s not!) it would start from the right bottom side and go upwards.

hope this is helpful!
