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.

= 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.

Answer:

Option (B). Perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD= 14.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Coordinates of the vertices are A(3, 5), B(1, 3), C(3, -1), D(5, 3).

Length of AB = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

= $\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(5-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{8}$

= 2.83 units

Length of AD = $\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(5-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{8}$

= 2.83 units

Length of BC = $\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(3+1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{20}$

= 4.47 units

Length of DC = $\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(3+1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{20}$

= 4.47 units

Perimeter of the quadrilateral = AB + AD + DC + BC

= 2.83 + 2.83 + 4.47 + 4.47

= 14.6 units

Option (B) is the answer.

Answer this ASAP I really need it

Ede4ka [16]

Given the expression
-2 + 6.45z - 6 + (-3.25z)

First, classify like terms, constant with constant, coefficient-variable with coefficient-variable
-2 + 6.45z - 6 + (-3.25z)
= 6.45z + (-3.25z) - 2 - 6

Second, combining like terms
= 6.45z + (-3.25z) - 2 - 6
= 6.45z - 3.25z - 8
= 3.20z - 8

The simplest form is 3.20 - 8

Solve the system of equation

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

plain = $10.50

pepperoni = $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

x = pepperoni

y = plain

3x + 2y = 58.5

2x + 4y = 67

using substitution method, I multiplied the first system by -2 to get:

-6x - 4y = -117

+ 2x + 4y = 67

-4x = -50

x = $12.50

2(12.5) + 4y = 67

25 + 4y = 67

4y = 42

y = $10.50
