Answer:
a greater-than negative 21 and one-third
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4a>-16
divide both sides by 3/4
a>-16*4/3
a>-64/3
a>-21 1/3
so then
a greater-than negative 21 and one-third
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
The second answer, cause it best shows the equation, but they just moved the numbers around. It is also the only equation with all the same numbers used in the original equation, too
