Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
Answer:
y intercept=3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, write it in slope intercept form
y=-1/6x+3/2
y=mx+b
b=y-intercept
y intercept=3/2
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
x/3+12 = 26
Multiply everything by 3 to eliminate the fraction
x+36=78
subtract 36 on both sides
x=42
42/3=14
14+12=26
Answer:
100% chance of this happening.
