Answer:
The correct answer is:
(7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52, or 8s+4 = 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since s is the son's age, "two less than seven times" the son's age would be represented by 7s-2. To represent this in 3 years, we would add 3: (7s-2)+3. In 3 years, the son's age, s, would be represented by s+3. We are told that the sum of these ages will be 52; this gives us (7s-2)+3+(s+3) = 52.
To simplify this, combine like terms. 7s+s = 8s; -2+3+3 = 4. This gives us 8s+4=52.

Answers:
<u>Question 19:</u> 177 bpm
<u>Question 20:</u> 95˚F
Explanations:
<u>Question 19:</u>
You had the formula set up properly like this:
This is where you went wrong - I don't know exactly what you did, but your division of 4425 ÷ 25 is wrong. You should have ended up with 177 which is the correct answer.
<u>Question 20:
</u>
You had the formula set up correctly again, and merely used the wrong sign when
adding 32.
This is where you went wrong. You subtracted 32 from 63 when you should have added it. (See red circle on your subtraction.)
63 + 32 = 95˚F
Answer:
15 nuts do not get found.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found.
Total number of nuts squirrel had hidden = 40
Proportion of nuts not found to total = 3/(3+5) = 3/8
Hence out of 40, nuts not found =3/8(40) = 15 nuts.
15 nuts would not be found and 25 nuts would be found if squirrel had hidden in total 40 nuts.
This is because the proportion of found:unfound = 5:3
Hence 25:!5 =5:3 satisfies this
15 nuts are not found.
