take father's age as x

if it is doubled i.e 2x .we get the answer as 20 less than 100 which means 100-20=80

accordingly the equation will be 2x=80

x=40

given that ,

son is 1/4 th of his father

hence ,

son = 1/4×(x)

I.e, 1/4×40 =10

Hope it helps

Which could be a step used when solving the equation 5x + 10 = 7.5x
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

x = 4

Move variables to the right and constants to the left. Then divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 10 = 7.5x (Given)

-2.5x = -10 (subtraction property of equality)

x = 4 (division property of equality)

Classify each system of equations as having a single solution, no solution, or infinite solutions.
mina [271]
To find what the answer is for this problem, we need to find out whether each of them have infinite, no, or single solutions. We can do this individually.

Starting with the first one, we need to convert both of the equations into slope-intercept form. y = -2x + 5 is already in that form, now we just need to do it to 4x + 2y = 10.

2y = -4x + 10
y = -2x +5

Since both equations give the same line, the first one has infinite solutions.

 Now onto the second one. Once again, the first step is to convert both of the equations into slope-intercept form. 

x = 26 - 3y becomes
3y = -x + 26
y = -1/3x + 26/3 

2x + 6y = 22 becomes
6y = -2x + 22
y = -1/3 x + 22/6

Since the slopes of these two lines are the same, that means that they are parallel, meaning that this one has no solutions. 

Now the third one. We do the same steps. 

5x + 4y = 6 becomes
4y = -5x + 6
y = -5/4x + 1.5
 
10x - 2y = 7 becomes
2y = 10x - 7
y = 5x - 3.5

Since these two equations are completely different, that means that this system has one solution.

Now the fourth one. We do the same steps again. 

x + 2y = 3 becomes
2y = -x + 3
y = -0.5x + 1.5

4x + 8y = 15 becomes
8y = -4x + 15
y = -1/2x + 15/8

Once again, since these two lines have the same slopes, that means that they are parallel, meaning that this one has no solutions. 

Now the fifth one. 

3x + 4y = 17 becomes
4y = -3x + 17
y = -3/4x + 17/4

-6x = 10y - 39 becomes
10y = -6x + 39
y = -3/5x + 3.9

Since these equations are completely different, there is a single solution. 

Last one!

x + 5y = 24 becomes
5y = -x + 24
y = -1/5x + 24/5

5x = 12 - y becomes
y = -5x +12

Since these equations are completely different, this system has a single solution.

A teacher has been given £35 to spend on pencils and rulers.
SSSSS [86.1K]
Packet of 12 pencils = p
Packet of 30 rulers = r

p = £2.15
r = £6.00

£35 = 4r + xp
£35 = 4(£6.00) + x(£2.15)
£35 = £24 + £2.15x
£11 = £2.15x
x = 5.12

Since she can buy 5.12 packets of pencils, it is equal to 5 packets of pencils.

Can the -1 in front of - (y - 1) be distributed?
olchik [2.2K]

-1(y-1)

-y+1 would be the simplified version so yes, it can be distributed

I hope this helps
