Let x = Parent's age now  y = son's age now

Then, x-5 = parent's age five years ago

        y-5 = son's age five years ago

     So, x-5 = 5(y-5)

          Simplify to get x - 5y = -20

Parent's age 8 years from now = x+8

Son's age 8 years from now = y+8

    So, x+8 = 3(y+8)

           Simplifying, we have x - 3y = 16

We have the system of equations:  x - 5y = -20

                                                  x - 3y = 16

Subtract the equations to obtain -2y = -36

                                                  y = 18

                                                  x = 70

Parent is 70 years old and the son is 18 years old.

I'm asuming you did a typo  from a previous quesiton  I see that it is a dollar sign
$12 per hour
for 15 hourse, just multiply $12 by 15 because per hour means per 1 hour
15 times $12=$180

Answer:

0.25feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is not well written. Let the equation of the height be modelled as;

h = -16d²+8d+4

The velocity of the ball is zero at its maximum height.

Velocity = change in displacement/time

v = dh/dd

Differentiate

v = -32d+8

Since dh/dd = v = 0

0 = -32d+8

Add 32d to both sides

0+32d = 8

32d = 8

Divide both sides by 32

32d/32 = 8/32

d = 1/4

d = 0.25feet

Hence the maximum height of the tennis ball is 0.25feet

Note that the modeled equation was assumed. You can apply the same calculation to any equation given
