Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.
4 years ago, the son was:
s-4
So, his father is currently:
3(s-4)
=
3s-12
Therefore:
f = 3s-12
In twelve years, the son will be:
s+12
And the father will be:
f+12
This can also be written as:
3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12
=
3s
So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36
Son’s current age: 36
We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.
2(24)+24 = 72
Father’s current age: 72
You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V
_____
<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
Answer: look at the picture
Step-by-step explanation: Hope this help :D, Can I have a Brainliest I really needed it please
The answer is -4 because 4+2 is equal to 6 and then 6-2 is equal to 4 and then times into the number of 2 the answer is 4x2 is equal to 8 and then minus into the negative 5 an the answer is -4.
4/3pi *r3 = 972pi
Divide both side by pi
4/3 *r3 = 972
r3 = 972* 3/4
r3 = 729
r = the square root of 729 to the third power (I don't know if I'm expressing this correctly but answer is 9, hope you get that)
r = 9 that's your answer.
Hope it's correct, appreciate if you could let me know
