Answer: 11 represents the extra amount of money he gets.
Step-by-step explanation: I say this because for example, the 11 can represent how much money he gets for being present at work. 11 could also represent the extra money he earns.
Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.
Let's establish the two equations we will be using to solve the problem.
Let present age of father = f
Let present age of son = s
Equation No. 1 -
f = 3s
Equation No. 2 -
f + 15 = 2s
To begin with, we will substitute the value of ( f ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( s ).
Equation No. 2 -
f + 15 = 2s
( 3s ) + 15 = 2s
3s - 2s = - 15
s = - 15
Next we will substitute the value of ( s ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( f ).
Equation No. 1 -
f = 3s
f = 3 ( - 15 )
f = - 45
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, the present age of the father is - 45 years old.
It isn't possible for someone to be negative years old but this is the answer that I obtained from the equations.
Hope this helps! :)
Have a lovely day! <3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x - 2
x + y = 12
Substitute the first expression for y into the second equation.
x + (x - 2) = 12
2x - 2 = 12
2x = 14
x = 7
Now plug into either equation to find y.
y = 7 - 2
y = 5
So the solution is (7, 5).
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Additive inverse means opposite. Opposite of 5 is -5
Answer:
10=y/11-13
We move all terms to the left:
-10-(y/11-13)=0
-y/11+13-10=0
We multiply all the terms by the denominator
-y+13*11-10*11=0
We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
-1y+33=0
We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right
-y=-33
y=-33/-1
y=+33
