Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the son's age. The father's age is 3x and 3x - x = 24.

Therefore 2x = 24 and x = 12.

The son's age is 12 and the father's age is 36 at present.

Solve using the elimination method<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%2B5y%3D4%5C%5C8x%2B10y%3D8" id="TexFormula1" title="4x+5y
EastWind [94]

Answer:

y = all real numbers

x = all real numbers

In set notation/interval notation;

y∈(-∞,∞)

x∈(-∞,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Background information

The process of elimination involves manipulating an equation such that when the equations in the system are added, one variable is eliminated. Then one can solve for the other variable, finally, one substitutes the answer back in to find the eliminated variable. Therefore solving the system of equations.

2. The given information

Given the system;

(1)    4x + 5y = 4

(2)    8x + 10y = 8

3. Solving

Multiply the first equation by (-2)

4x + 5x = 4

*-2           *-2

-8x - 10x = -8

Add the first and second equations.

   -8x - 10y = -8

+ ( 8x + 10y = 8 )

_____________

0

This means that y can be any real number, and hence x can be any real number.

paloma eats 2/8 of an apple in the morning and 3/8 more in the afternoon. how much of an apple did she eat in total
marishachu [46]

Step-by-step explanation:

in this problem, we are solving for the amount of apple that Paloma eats

1. she ate 2/8 of a complete apple -hence the will be a remainder, we will find  

  that remainder

2. she also ate 3/8 of the remainder for lunch

3. we then proceed to calculate all apple she ate in total

1. \frac{2}{8} *1= \frac{1}{4} \\\\1-\frac{1}{4}= \frac{4-1}{4}  = \frac{3}{4}

2 she ate 3/8 of the remaining 3/4 apple

1. \frac{3}{8} *\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{32}

3. in  total she ate 1/4+ 9/32

\frac{1}{4} +\frac{9}{32} = \frac{8+9}{32} = \frac{17}{32}
