Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.
4 years ago, the son was:
s-4
So, his father is currently:
3(s-4)
=
3s-12
Therefore:
f = 3s-12
In twelve years, the son will be:
s+12
And the father will be:
f+12
This can also be written as:
3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12
=
3s
So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36
Son’s current age: 36
We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.
2(24)+24 = 72
Father’s current age: 72

Answer:
A. 6 m by 6 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the different choices to see which has the largest area. Of course, the area is the product of the dimensions:
6 m × 6 m = 36 m² . . . . largest area
10 m × 2 m = 20 m²
8 m × 4 m = 32 m²
__
The largest area is that of a square, 6 m by 6 m. (choice A)
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = 3x - 2 is in this form with slope m = 3
• Parallel lines have equal slopes
Hence the slope of the parallel line = 3
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
here m = 3 and (a, b) = (- 3, - 14), hence
y + 14 = 3(x + 3) ← in point- slope form
Distribute and simplify
y + 14 = 3x + 9 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
y = 3x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form
