Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of father = x years

and the present age of son = y years

according to the first condition

x + y =44 ........(i)

according to the second condition

x+8 = 2(y+8)

or x+ 8 = 2y + 16

or x- 2y = 8 ............(ii)

solve the equation (i) & (ii) we get

x + y =44

x- 2y = 8

••••••••••••••••••••••••

3y = 36

or y = 12

put the value of y in equation (i), we get

x + 12 =44

or x = 32

so the present age of father = x =32 years

and the present age of son = y = 12 years.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We must first define the concepts a little:

We have that when the sides are congruent that is to say that they have the same direction and the same size and also the two opposite sides are parallel, the angles will be the same.

Now, in an isosceles triangle, two angles are congruent, because their two sides are congruent.

A giant tortoise can travel 0.11 miles in 1 hour. At this rate, how long would it take the tortoise to travel 3 miles?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

about 27.27 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it can travel 0.11 miles in 1 hour, we need to divide 3 miles by 0.11 miles to get the number of hours it would take to travel 3 miles. 3/0.11 is 27.27 repeating.

Hope this helps!

What is 12 divided by 3/4
Tpy6a [65]
12 divided by 3/4 =
16

<span>It is 16 because the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3 and 12 as a fraction is 12/1. So 12/1 x 4/3 is 48/3. And if you divide 48 by 3 you will get 16. If you don't get 16 then you did the wrong calculation.</span>

Hope I Helped You!!! :-)

Have A Good Day!!!
