The age of a man is twice the sum of the ages of his two sons. Ten years ago, his age was five times

Mathematics

Olenka [21]3 years ago

Answer:

suppose: the age of the man now is x

the sum of the ages of his two sons now is y

(x, y > 0, x, y € N)

so the age of the man 10 years ago is x - 10

the sum of the ages of his 2 sons ten years ago is

y - 20

because now, The age of a man is twice the sum of the ages of his two sons => x = 2y

because Ten years ago, his age was five times

the sum of their ages

=> x - 10 = 5( y - 20)

<=> x - 10 = 5y - 100

<=> 2x - 20 = 10y - 200

<=> 2x = 2y.5 - 180

but x = 2y => 2x = 5x - 180

<=> 3x = 180

<=> x = 60

=> his present age is 60

PLEASE HELP!!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!

Answer:

None of these.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x-6) is a factor. We got the quotient (x^2+6) and the remainder 13 according to the problem.  So we know (x-6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.

Let's assume we are trying to figure out if (x^2+6) is a factor.  The quotient is (x-6) and the remainder is 13 according to the problem.  So we know (x^2+6) is not a factor because the remainder wasn't zero.

In order for 13 to be a factor of P, all the terms of P must be divisible by 13.  That just means you can reduce it to a form that is not a fraction.

If we look at the first term x^3 and we divide it by 13 we get \frac{x^3}{13} we cannot reduce it so it is not a fraction so 13 is not a factor of P

None of these is the right option.

Solving simular triangles advanced
Reptile [31]

Answer:

x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

6            6+x

-------- = -----------

4              5

Using cross products

6*5 = 4 * (6+x)

30 = 24 + 4x

Subtract 24 from each side

30 -24 = 24+4x-24

6 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

6/4 = 4x/4

3/2 = x
