Answer:

So the son’s age is 24 and the father’s is 48. Ten years ago, they were 14 and 38, which adds up to 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the son’s age is x, the father’s age is 2x.

Ten years ago:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

2x = 48

Answer:

24 and 48

Today, the son is 24 years old, and the father is 48 years old.  

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

The father is 2 times his son's age.

2x

= 2(24)

= 48

So, the son is 24 and the father is 48.

10 years ago, son was 14 and father was 38, if added, this adds up to 52, so we know our calculations are correct.

Which graph shows the solution to the following inequality?<br>4d- 6 &lt; 18 <br>PLEASE HELP​
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

answer a

Step-by-step explanation:

4d-6 < 18

  • Let's isolate d on one side of the equation. Ignore the inequality for now. We'll deal with that later.

4d-6=18\\4d-6+6=18+6\\4d=24\\\frac{4d}{4}=\frac{24}{4}\\ d=6

  • Now, I'm going to bring back the inequality or < symbol. I only removed it when simplifying and isolating d, but if this confuses you, just do your math and keep the inequality there.

d < 6

  • On a number line, this would include every number <em>less than </em>6, due to the < (less than) symbol. This disqualifies answers b and d because they are showing every number <em>greater than </em>6. But, how do we decide between answers a and c?
  • If a line has point at its beginning, 6, then that means that every number <em>less than or equal to</em> [ ≤ ] 6 is being shown, but our equation just says <em>less than </em>[ < ] 6, so answer a is our correct answer.

Which of the following has the least steep graph?
aleksklad [387]
Answer is D. y = 1/2x + 3
Explanation
you are looking for “least steep” on the graph, so you are looking for the least amount of slope. Slope is the number next to x in the slope intercept y=mx+b.
1/2 on a graph would be 1 up and 2 to the right
The other three options would be 1 up 1 over, 2 up 1 over, 3 up 1 over, all having a steeper slope.

Given:<br> Triangle WXY, 1 an exterior .<br><br> Prove:<br> 1 &gt; 2
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

<h3><1 = <2+< 3.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle WXY and <1 is an exterior angle.

We need to prove <1 is greater than <2.


First statement is:

Triangle WXY and <1 is an exterior angle.

Reason : Given


<em>Note: An exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of two angles side the triangle those don't makes the linear pair with exterior angle.</em>


We can see that <2 and < 3 are the angles of triangle those are not making a linear pair.


Therefore, <1 = <2+< 3.

So, the second statement should be first option <1 = <2+< 3.

No idea how to graph this
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

the graph will start at y1 and go down 1 and right 2 for every point.

Step-by-step explanation: since the x is negative you know that the graph is going to be negative so from left to right it will be going from top to bottom. next you look at the 1/2 which just states that every point on that line will will be 1 down and two right from the previous point. now you look at the +1 which just says that the graph will cross the y axis a 1.
