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

David and Eric each shot 6 arrows at the target shown. David shot 4 arrows into A and 2 into B. His score was 18 points. Eric sh
liq [111]
Lets write an equation for each guy's shots and score:
4A + 2B = 18
3A + 3B = 21
To solve we multiply the first equation by -3 and the second by 2:
-12A - 6B = -54
  6A + 6B = 42
--------------------
-12A + 0 = -12
A = 1
to find B we substitute in the first equation:
<span>4A + 2B = 18
</span><span>4(1) + 2B = 18
</span><span>4 + 2B = 18
</span>2B = 14
B = 7
therefore there were given 7 points in an arrow in B

HELP!!!

While since Rajeev is already below the surface by 12.6 ft it’ll be negative (-12.6) and since he went down another 8.7 ft it’ll just be minus since he is still going under, so -12.6-8.7 will be your answer. :)
