Answer:
<u><em>The Father is currently 47 and the Son is 7</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let F and S be the present ages of Father and Son, respectively.
We are told that <u>(F-2) = 9(S-2)</u> [2 years ago, father age was nine times the son age]
We also learn that <u>(F+3) = 5(S+3)</u> [3 years later it will be 5 times only]
Take the first expression and isolate one of the variables (S or F). I'll isolate F:
(F-2) = 9(S-2)
F = 9S - 16
Now use this in the second expression:
(F+3) = 5(S+3)
((9S-16)+3) = 5(S+3)
9S-13 = 5S+15
4S = 28
S = 7
Since F = 9S-16,
F = 9*(7)-16
F = 47
<u><em>Father is 47 and Son is 7</em></u>
CHECK:
Was the father 9 times the age of his son 2 years ago?
Father would have been 45 and son 5. Yes, 9*5 = 45
In 3 years will he be 5 times older than his son? Yes, Father would be 50 and son would be 10. 5*(10) = 50
I could be wrong because people do make mistakes, but i’m pretty sure the answer i got was right
$128.60
explanation:
$257.20 divided by 4=$64.30
$257.20-$64.30=$192.90
$192.90 divided by 3=$64.30
$192.90-$64.30=$128.60
therefore, she has $128.60 left from her paycheck after bills
Answer:
Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.
Together they sold 256 books
To Find : How many did each one of them sell?
Solution:
Let Jessica sold x books
Let Josh sold y books.
Since we are given that Jessica sold 15 times more books than Josh.
⇒x=15y --a
We are also given that Together they sold 256 books.
⇒x+y=256 --b
Using substitution method
Put value of x from equation a in equation b
⇒15y+y=256
⇒16y=256
⇒
⇒
Thus Josh sold 16 books
Jessica sold books = 15y = 15*16=240
Hence Josh sold 16 books and Jessica sold 240 books
The y is 9:EXAMPLE took the test
