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.

Area of rectangle with diagonal of 5 in but length not given

sergij07 [2.7K]

Draw a rectangle with diagonal 5 in. Inside this rect. are 2 acute triangles of hypotenuse 5. Note that 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2; thus the width of the rect. is 3 and the length is 4, with the result that the hypo. is sqrt(3^2+4^2), as expected.

Please help i've been stuck on these for a bit now!

Answer:

Q6. D

Q8. A

Step-by-step explanation:

Q6. In 40 trials, he flipped '2 heads and 1 tail' 16 times.

For 2 heads, probability= 16/40= 4/10

For 120 trials, number of times= 4/10 × 120= 48

Q8.

$125x + 200 \geqslant 1200 \\ 125x \geqslant 1200 - 200 \\ 125x \geqslant 1000 \\ x \geqslant 1000 \div 125 \\ x \geqslant 8$

Answer is A because the inequality shows that x is equal or greater than 8 so the dot at 8 has to be coloured.

Note that we do not change the inequality sign unless we are dividing the whole thing by -1.
