Answer:

20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the son's age is x.

Therefore,

2.5x = 55 - 5

2.5x = 50

x  = 20 years old

Evaluate g(x) = x2 + 5 given the inputs (-1,0,1,2}
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

g(-1) = 6

g(0) = 5

g(1) = 6

g(2) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Plug in -1 for <em>x</em>

g(-1) = (-1)² + 5

g(-1) = 1 + 5

g(-1) = 6

Step 2: Plug in 0 for <em>x</em>

g(0) = 0² + 5

g(0) = 0 + 5

g(0) = 5

Step 3: Plug in 1 for <em>x</em>

g(1) = 1² + 5

g(1) = 1 + 5

g(1) = 6

Step 4: Plug in 2 for <em>x</em>

g(2) = 2² + 5

g(2) = 4 + 5

g(2) = 9

14 bugs are crawling on the steps. Some of the bugs are black, and 4 are
docker41 [41]

Answer:

b  = 14-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of black bugs be b

Let the number of green bugs be g

If 14 bugs are crawling on the step, then;

b + g = 14 ....1

If there are 4 green bugs, then g = 4

Substitute g = 4 into the equation

b + g = 14

b + 4 = 14

b = 14 - 4

Hence the sentence that can be required to find the number of black bugs is b  = 14-4

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.
NemiM [27]
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
