4x = 37
divide each side by 4
x = 37/4
4 goes into 37 9 times with 1 left over
x = 9 1/4
Either the problem is incorrect or the answer choices are incorrect
A, C would be my best guesses
X is 5 in this case!!!!hope it helps
Answer:
Your answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
Just test it out on all of them, it fits.
Father = x
son = y
x-5 = 7(y-5)
x +5 = 3(y+5) solve the system
x-5 = 7y-35
x+5 = 3y +15
x-5 = 7y-35
-x-5 = -3y -15
-10 = 4y -50
+50 +50
40 = 4y
10 = y
Solve for X
x+5 = 3(10) + 15
x+5 = 45
x = 40
The father is 40yrs old and the son is 10yrs old.
