Answer:

Son's age is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Father's age be 2x.

Let the son's age be x.

Five years ago:

Man's age will be = 2x - 5

Son's age will be = x - 5

If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then:

2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4

⇒ 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)

⇒ 8x - 20 = 9x - 45

⇒ -20 + 45 = 9x - 8x

⇒ 25 = x

∴ x = 25

Hence, the son's age = 25 years

If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50 years

Jules has 1200 and is spending 40 per week. kelsey has 400 and is saving 50 a week. in how many weeks, will jules and kelsey hav
expeople1 [14]
After x weeks:
Jules will have: 1,200 + 40 x.
Kelsey will have: 400 + 50 x.
If we want to know in how many weeks will they have the same amount of money, we will make an equation:
400 + 50 x = 1,200 + 40 x
50 x - 40 x = 1,200 - 400
10 x = 800
x = 800 : 10
x = 80
Answer: In 80 weeks they will have the same amount of money.

Is the sequence 5, 9, 15, an arithmetic sequence? Explain.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence has a common difference between adjacent terms. Here, the differences are ...

  • 9 -5  = 4
  • 15 -9 = 6

The differences are different, not common, so this is NOT an arithmetic sequence.
