Answer:

Define F as fathers age and S as sons age right now.

Then now they are

(1) 3S = F

and six years ago they were

(2) 5*(S-6) = F-6

calculate 5*(S-6)

5S - 30 = F-6

Subtract left and right side by -F

Add 30 to left and right side

5S - F = 24

Put (2) 3S = F into the equation above

5S - 3S = 24

2S = 24

S = 12

insert result in (2) 3S = F

3*12 = F

36 = F

Step-by-step explanation:

So the son is 12 years, and the father is 36 years.

pychu [463]

Answer: Greater than 3 but less than 17

Step-by-step explanation: To find the smallest possible side, subtract the largest of the given sides by the smallest. To find the largest possibly side, you add both given sides. In this case, you would subtract 7 from 10 to find the smallest side, which would be 3, and add both sides to find the largest possible side of 17.

Which of the following is equal to the expression below? (160x243)^1/5
Kipish [7]
160 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 2^5 x 5
243 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 3^5
So
(160 * 243)^1/5
= 5th root of (160 * 243)
= 5th root of (2^5 * 5 * 3^5)
= 2 * 3 * (5th root of 5)
= 6 * (5th root of  5)
Answer is D. 6 * (5th root of  5)

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

She wants to average 85, so adding ALL three of her scores, divided by 3 needs to equal 85.

(75 + 80 + x)/3 = 85

Times by 3.

75 + 80 + x = 255

155 + x = 255

subtract 155.

x = 100

She needs 100 on the third test.
