Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can rewrite the question as (x-5)*(x-5).
Using the FOIL Method (First, Outside, Inside, Last):

This simplifies to 
take father's age as x
if it is doubled i.e 2x .we get the answer as 20 less than 100 which means 100-20=80
accordingly the equation will be 2x=80
x=40
given that ,
son is 1/4 th of his father
hence ,
son = 1/4×(x)
I.e, 1/4×40 =10
Hope it helps
Answer:
9 4/7 + 8 5/6 = 773/
42
= 18 17/
42
= 18.4047619
Step-by-step explanation:
1st piece = x
2nd piece = x+2
3rd piece = x+2+3 = x+5
37 = x +x+2 + x+5 =
37 = 3x+7
30=3x
x = 30/3 = 10
1st piece = 10 inches
2nd piece = 10+2 = 12 inches
3rd piece = 10+5 = 15 inches
<span>An equation with more than one operations can be also called several-step equation, because requires multiple operations to be solved.There is a order which operation you should do first. The equation can be solved in several steps an that's why is it not a one-step equation.</span>
