Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the mother's age by m and the son's by 4.  Currently m = 36 years old.

In x years the mother will be three times as old as her son:

mother:  36 + x years old

son:  4 + x years old

The pertinent equation to solve is:

36 + x = 3(4 + x)

Performing the multiplication, we get:

36 + x = 12 + 3x, or

24 = 2x.  Then x = 12.

Check:  In 12 years, will the mother's age be 3 times the son's age?

Does 36 + 12 = 3(4 + 12)?

Does    48      = 48?  YES

The mother will be 3 times as old as her son in 12 years from now.

One number is eight less than a second number. Twice the first is 12 more than 4 times the second. Find the numbers.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"One number is eight less than a second number."

x = y-8

"Twice the first is 12 more than 4 times the second."

2x = 4y+12

substitution

2(y-8) = 4y + 12

2y - 16 = 4y + 12

2y = -28

y = -14

x = y-8 = -22
