Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

A man is now 3 times as old as his son.

m = 3s

In 10 years time, the sum of their ages will be 76

(m + 10) + (s + 10) = 76

Subsitute for m = 3s

(3s + 10) + (s + 10) = 76

4s + 20 = 76

4s = 56

s = 14

m = 3s = 14 * 3

m = 42

------------------------

How old was the man when his son was born?

m - s = 42 - 14

m - s = 28

What is the point-slope form of the equation of a line that passes through the point (1, 4) and has a slope of −3?
zmey [24]
So y=mx+b
m=slope

y=-3x+b
subsitutue 1 for x and 4 for  y
4=-3(1)+b
4=-3+b
add 3 to both sides
7=b

the equaiton is y=-3x+7

The sum of a number and three is doubled and then added to the product of six and the original number to give forty six
Zina [86]

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number

Now let's break it down!

Sum of a number and 3 gives;

x + 3

This is then doubled to give;

2* (x + 3)

This is added to the product of 6 and the original number to give 46

Product of 6 and the original number = 6 * x

Now 2* (x + 3) is added to 6 * x to give 46

2* (x + 3) + 6*x = 46

2x + 6 + 6x = 46

8x + 6 = 46

Subtract 6 from both sides

8x + 6 - 6 = 46 - 6

8x = 40

x = 40/8

x = 5

Hence, the number is 5
