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

A water tank holds 486 gallons but leaking at a rate 4 gallons per week. A second water tank holds 648 gallons but is leaking at
notka56 [123]

The first tank contains

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water after <em>t</em> weeks.

Similarly, the second tank contains

648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

gal of water.

The tanks hold the same amount of water when these two amounts are equal:

486 gal - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - (7 gal/week) <em>t</em>

(7 gal/week) <em>t</em> - (4 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 648 gal - 486 gal

(3 gal/week) <em>t</em> = 162 gal

<em>t</em> = (162 gal) / (3 gal/week)

<em>t</em> = 54 weeks

What were the main important ideas in geometry that you studied in the first six weeks?

Answer:

The preceding chapter explored implications of research on learning for general issues relevant to the design of effective learning environments. We now move to a more detailed exploration of teaching and learning in three disciplines: history, mathematics, and science. We chose these three areas in order to focus on the similarities and differences of disciplines that use different methods of inquiry and analysis. A major goal of our discussion is to explore the knowledge required to teach effectively in a diversity of disciplines.

What is slope of the libe
Xelga [282]
The slope of a line usually determines id the line is negative or positive. For example, lines going uphill, or uphill slopes, are positive slopes. The slope will be a positive number such as, yet not limited to, 5, 10, or 57. Or you can also take their counter parts for example, downhill slopes would be considered negative slopes, meaning they go below zero, instead of above, like positive slopes. Hope this helps. :D
