I would start by setting up a chart like I did below.
Label one column age now and the other age in 5 years.
Since we don't know the son's age we use x.
We do know that the man's age is 4 times the son's age.
So the man's age will be 4x.
In the age in 5 year column, we add 5 to their current ages.
Now set up our equation.
Since it says "in five years" we use information in second column.
In 5 years time, he, "4x + 5", will be, equals,
3 times as old as his son, "3(x + 5)".
So we have 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5).
Solving from here, we find that x = 10.
So the son is 10 and the man is 4 times his age or 40.
Your answer would be 24, so you got it right.
This is because you need to find the lowest common multiple of 6 and 8, that is, the lowest number that divides by both 6 and 8.
We can do this by either writing out the multiples of 6 and 8 until you find a common one, or you can find the prime factors of 6 and 8 and multiply them:
6-> 3 × 2
8-> 2 × (4)->2 × 2
So we would need to do 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 3 × 8 = 24
I hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
i want to say US metric system for a and divide by 4 and replace feet with inches to create the model
1. the graph of 2x + 1 = y for all real numbers will be a line. the graph with the restricted domain will be a line segment meaning it has endpoints (1, 3) and (4, 9).
2. is open ended, meaning you can make A, B, C anything you want as long as what they specify is met.
(a) A = 0
(0)x + By = C
let's make B = 1 and C = 5
y = 5
(b) B = 0
Ax + (0)y = C
let's make A = 1 and C = 5
x = 5
(c) C = 0
Ax + By = 0
let's make both A and B = 1
x + y = 0
3. plot both intercepts (x on x-axis, y on y-axis) then draw a line through the dots.
4-7. linear equations do not have exponents on any of the variables. 1/y is the same as y^(-1) so both 4 and 7 are non-linear.
8-13. you will have to graph these. put them in slope intercept form: y = mx+b if they're not already , plot the y-intercept first (0, b) then use the slope m draw the line by going rise over run.
example 13.
3x + 4y = 12
4y = -3x + 12
y = (-3/4) + 3
plot (0,3)
go down -3 , right 4 make a point.
reverse from (0,3) go up 3 left -4 and make a point. connect with line.
