Answer: 46 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the father's age be x and the son's age be y, then 3 years ago:
Father = x - 3
son = y - 3
Then , from the first statement :
x - 3 = 3 ( y - 3 )
x - 3 = 3y - 9
x = 3y - 9 + 3
x = 3y - 6 .......................................... equation 1
In five years time
father = x + 5
son = y + 5
Then , from the second statement
x + 5 = 2 ( y + 5 )
x + 5 = 2y + 10
x = 2y + 10 - 5
x = 2y + 5 ........................ equation 2
Equating equation 1 and 2 , we have
3y -6 = 2y + 5
add 6 to both sides
3y = 2y + 5 + 6
subtract 2y from both sides
3y - 2y = 11
y = 11
substitute y = 11 into equation 1 to find the value of x
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(11) - 6
x = 33 - 6
x = 27
This means that the father is presently 27 years and the son is presently 11 years.
In four years time
father = 27 + 4 = 31
son = 11 + 4 = 15
sum of their ages in four years time will be
31 + 15 = 46 years
In this question, the first information that we get is that Kayla spent half of her weekly allowance in clothes. On cleaning the oven Kayla gets $4. Finally Kayla is left with $12.
Let us assume that the weekly allowance of Kayla = x
Amount of allowance saved after buying clothes = x/2
Then we can go for the equation
x/2 + 4 = 12
x + (4 * 2) = 12 * 2
x + 8 = 24
x = 24 -8
= 16
So we can now see that the weekly allowance of Kayla is $16
Answer:
284cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
first, we split up the shape into seperate sections that we can easily find the areas of.
i will draw vertical lines in the bottom left and right, leaving me with 2 seperate rectangles and 1 irregular pentagon.
we know that these rectangles are 4x8cm, so we do 4 * 8 which gives us 32.
there are 2 of these, so 32 x 2 = 64cm^2.
now, i chose to seperarte the pentagon into a rectangle and a triangle,
and i found the height and width of the rectangle to be (18 - (4+4)) x (8+7), or 10 x 15.
the area of the rectangle is 150cm^2.
now, for the triangle.
the line through the centre of th shape is 22cm long, but we only want the part in the triangle. luckily, there are mesurements that can help us with this.
8 + 7 = 15.
22 - 15 = 7.
now we know that the height of the triangle is 7 cm.
from earlier, we also know the base, which is 10cm.
7 x 10 = 70cm^2.
now we add all these together:
70 + 150 + 64 = 284cm^2
Y=16 x=20
put these values in equation and see rifht or wrong
A) 16 ≠20*20 wrong
B) 16 ≠ (5/4)*20 - wrong
C) 16=(4/5)*20 - right
D) 16≠0.6*20
Answer: C) y=4/5*x
