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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle the area is

A=\frac{1}{2}bh

If our triangle is isosceles and the 2 congruent sides each measure 4 and they include an angle of 40 degrees, let's say that the vertex angle is 40 and the sides that are not the base each measure 4.  If we drop an altitude from the vertex to the base, we cut the triangle into 2 right triangles, with the vertex angle being 20 degrees and the hypotenuse being 4.  To find the base, then, which is opposite the angle, we use the sin ratio:

sin(20)=\frac{b}{4} and

4sin(20) = b so

b = 1.368

But we need the whole base, and that is only half of it.  So

2b = 2.736

To find the height, which is adjacent to the angle, we use the cos ratio:

cos(20)=\frac{h}{4} and

4cos(20) = h so

h = 3.759

Now we have enough info to find the area of the triangle using the triangle area formula from above:

A=\frac{1}{2}(2.736)(3.759) and

A = 5 meters squared.

A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 5% gold and 20% lead and the other which is 30% gold and 50% lead. How many grams of e
dmitriy555 [2]

The amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

A chemist has two alloys, one of which is 5% gold and 20% lead and the other which is 30% gold and 50% lead.

Let's suppose the x is the amount of the first alloy and y is the amount of the second alloy:

We can make two linear equation in two variables:

0.05x + 0.3y = 31.5  ...(1)

0.2x + 0.5y = 105  ...(2)

After solving the above two linear equations by substitution method, we get:

x = 450 grams

y = 30 grams

Thus, the amount of the first alloy is 450 grams and the amount of the second alloy is 30 grams.

Is the inequality always, sometimes or never true?
Feliz [49]
1 )  9 x + 18 > 9 x - 27
9 x - 9 x > - 27 - 18
0 * x > - 45
Always true
2 ) 6 x - 13 < 9 x - 12
6 x - 6 x < - 12 + 13
0 * x < 1
Always true
3 ) - 6 ( 2 x - 10 ) + 12 x ≤ 180
- 12 x + 60 + 12 x ≤ 180
0 * x ≤ 180 - 60
0 * x ≤ 120
Always true.

Three ounces of cinnamon cost $2.40. If there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, how much does cinnamon cost per pound?
Nikolay [14]

$12.80 is your answer.. see all you needed to do was divide $2.40 by three.. as that is one oz you would only then multiply by twelve for your answer.
