A father is 60 years old and his son is half his age how old was the boy when his father was four times his age

1 answer:

5 0

F=60, s=60/2=30

(60-x)/(30-x)=4

60-x=120-4x

60+3x=120

3x=60

x=20

s=30-x

s=30-20

s=10

So the boy was 10 years old when his father was four times his age.

A population of ants is 10,000 at the start of April. Since then, it triples each month.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Month since April Number of Ants

0 10,000

1 30,000

2 90,000

3 270,000

4 810,000

Every month, the ant population triples so the multiply the previous population by 3 to find out the new population.

0 months from April = 10,000 * 1 = 10,000 ants

1 month from April = 10,000 * 3 = 30,000 ants

2 months from April = 30,000 * 3 = 90,000 ants

3 months from April = 90,000 * 3 = 270,000 ants

4 months from April = 270,000 * 3 = 810,000

Fiona is trying to prove that a pair of expressions are equivalent by using substitution. Which pair of expressions has the same

fiasKO [112]

Missing Part of the Question

3 (4 - y) -7 ; 5 + 3y

9 + y + 4y - 2 - 3y; -2y + 7

5 + y - 2 - 6y + y; 8y + 3

2y + 7 + y - 2 + y; 4y + 5

Answer:

2y + 7 + y - 2 + y; 4y + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 3

Required

Which pair of expression are equal

To get the pair of expression that are equal; we simply substitute 3 for y in each of the expressions

3 (4 - y) -7 and 5 + 3y

Substitute 3 for y in 3 (4 - y) -7

This gives 3(4 - 3) -7

= 3(1) - 7

= 3 - 7

= -4

Then Substitute 3 for y in 5 + 3y

This gives 5 + 3(3)

= 5 + 9

= 14

-4 and 14 are not equal

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9 + y + 4y - 2 - 3y; -2y + 7

Substitute 3 for y in 9 + y + 4y - 2 - 3y

This gives 9 + 3 + 4(3) - 2 - 3(3)

= 9 + 3 + 12 - 2 - 9

= 13

Then Substitute 3 for y in -2y + 7

This gives -2(3) + 7

= -6 + 7

= 1

13 and 1 are not equal

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 + y - 2 - 6y + y; 8y + 3

Substitute 3 for y in 5 + y - 2 - 6y + y

This gives 5 + 3 - 2 - 6(3) + 3

= 5 + 3 - 2 - 18 + 3

= -9

Then Substitute 3 for y in 8y + 3

This gives 8(3) + 3

= 24 + 3

= 27

-9 and 27 are not equal

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2y + 7 + y - 2 + y; 4y + 5

Substitute 3 for y in 2y + 7 + y - 2 + y

This gives 2(3) + 7 + 3 - 2 + 3

= 6 + 7 + 3 - 2 + 3

= 17

Then Substitute 3 for y in 4y + 5

This gives 4(3) + 5

= 12 + 5

= 17

17 and 17 are equal

Hence, Option D is correct

The different ways that they can vote is given as 16 different ways.

<h3>How to calculate the ways that they can vote</h3>

The question say that there are a total of 4 members of the board. Out of these 4, we have the choices as yes or a no.

This tells us that each person only has 2 choices of what they want.

Hence given that the board members ar 4, we would have 2⁴

= 2 * 2 * 2 * 2

= 16

Hence the different ways that they can all vote is 16.
