Answer:

Son's age = 24 years

Man's age = 48 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the age of son as x

Man's age = 2x

Twelve years ago,

Son's age= x-12

Man's age= 2x-12

Man is three times as old as his son so,

\frac{2x - 12}{x - 12 } =  \frac{3}{1}

Solving for x,

2x-12(1) = x-12(3)

2x-12 = 3x-36

2x-3x = -36+12

-x = - 24

x = 24

So if we substitute the values we get,

Son's age = 24 years

Man's age = 48 years

Hope you understand :)

Step-by-step explanation:

\underline{ \underline{ \text{Solution}}} :

Let the present age of father be ' x ' years and that of the son be ' y ' years. From the first condition ,

  • x = 2y ••••••• equation ( i )

From the second condition ,

  • x - 12 = 3 ( y - 12 ) ••••• equation ( ii )

Substituting the value of x from equation ( i ) in equation ( ii ) :

\sf{2y - 12 = 3(y - 12)}

Solve for y ( age of the son ) :

⟿ \sf{2y  -  12 = 3y - 36}

⟿ \sf{2y - 3y =  - 36 + 12}

⟿ \sf{ - y =  - 24}

⟿ \sf{y = 24}

Now , Substituting the value of y in equation ( i ) , we get :

\sf{x = 2 \times 24}

⟿ \sf{x = 48}

So, the present age of the father is 48 years and that of the son is 24 years.

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ♡

3(x+10)=2(2x+16) help please & thank you
andrew-mc [135]
In this question, you have to isolate <em>x</em>.

First, use the distributive property.

3x+30=4x+32

Now that you have distributed, subtract the constants.

Write the equation g(x) in vertex form of a
DerKrebs [107]

The equation g(x) in vertex form of a  quadratic function for the transformations  whose graph is a  translation 4 units left and 1 unit up of the  graph of f(x) is (x-4)² + 1

Given a  quadratic function for the transformations given  the function f(x) = x²

If the function g(x) of the graph is translated 4 units to the left, the equation becomes (x-4)² (note that we subtracted 4 from the x value

  • Translating the graph 1 unit up will give the final function g(x) as (x-4)² + 1 (We added 1 since it is an upward translation.)

Hence the equation g(x) in vertex form of a  quadratic function for the transformations  whose graph is a  translation 4 units left and 1 unit up of the  graph of f(x) is (x-4)² + 1

Please Help! The graph of y=f(x) is shown below. What are all of the real solutions of f(x)=0? (Picture of graph included)
qwelly [4]

Answer:

(7, 0), (-8, 0), (0, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = f(x) = 0

the real solutions are the ones that cross the x-axis because when a point is on the x-axis, its y coordinate will be 0.

=> (7, 0), (-8, 0), (0, 0)

Cloud [144]
Part a : you could draw a line from each corner to the middle
This would give you 7 triangles in total

Part b : area of one triangle : 4.5*7.8 = 35.1 / 2 = 17.55in <-- area of 1 triangle

Part c : so if there are 7 triangles and the area of 1 triangle is 17.55, you would do:
7 * 17.55 = 122.85
