x+25/x=5/2

5x=2(x+24) 5x=2x+48

5x-2x=48

3x=48 3x/3=48/3

the age of son=16

father=24+x 24+16=40

F=40 s=16

40/16=5:2

Blake is 7 years older than Heather. In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 55. How old is Blake now?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

24 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Blake be x and the age of Heather by y then...

x=7+y

7+x+7+y=55

Notice we are adding additional 7s because the question states "in 7 years"

Simplify the second equation...

7+x+7+y=55

14+x+y=55

Subtract 21 from both sides

x+y=41

Solve using substitution (substitute 7+y for x since x = 7+y)

7+y+y=41

Combine like terms

2y+7=41

Subtract 7 from both sides

2y=34

Divide both sides by 2

y=17

x=7+17=24

Blake is 24 years old now

If a girl in a bikini has walked 4 KM in 10 minutes, How many kilometers does she walk in 3 years?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

631139.04 kilometers in 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = how many kilometers she walk

y = time (minutes)

Since she walks 4km in 10 minutes.

x = 4, y = 10

(4,10)

But how many minutes if she walk only a kilometer? Divide x and y by 4.

(1,2.5)

She walks a kilometer under 2.5 minutes.

Now finding rate of changes.

\displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{10 - 2.5}{4 - 1} } \\  \displaystyle \large{m =  \frac{7.5}{3} } \\ \displaystyle \large{m =  2.5}

Since m = 2.5

and of course, the function should be proportional so the equation should be y = mx.

\displaystyle \large{y = 2.5x }

Since time should be minutes instead of years.

Since 3 years = 1577847.6 minutes

\displaystyle \large{1577847.6 = 2.5x}

Divide both sides by 2.5

\displaystyle \large{ \frac{1577847.6}{2.5} = x} \\ \displaystyle \large{631139.04 = x }
