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.

In triangle XYZ, an exterior angle to angle X had measure 100° and an exterior angle to angle Z has measure 120°. Which side of
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Side YZ is the longest

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest side is across from the largest angle.

Angle X must be 80° because its exterior angle is 100° and they're supplementary. Angle Z is 60° for the same reason. Inside a triangle is always 180°, and since the measures of angle Z and X add up to 140°, so there's 40° left, meaning angle X is the largest.

Angle X is across from size YZ, so that's the longest

X+2y=-1 and 4x-4y=20 solve by substitution
Illusion [34]

To do this problem you would first need to factor out a variable, which in this case I would want to do the first equation because it is isolated. Now the equations would look like this:

x = -2y - 1

4x - 4y = 20

Since we know that x is now equal to -2y - 1 we can plug it in to the x value in the second equation:

4 (-2y -1) - 4y = 20

-8y -4 - 4y

-12y - 4 = 20

-12y = 24

y = -2

Now that we know the y value plug the y value to one equation to find the x, I will be using the first equation

x + 2(-2) = -1

x - 4 = -1

x = 3

Solutions:

y = -2

x = 3

What is the equation of a line with a slope of 1/2 that passes through the point,(-2,5)?
Digiron [165]

y - 5 =  \frac{1}{2} (x - ( - 2)) \\ y - 5 =  \frac{1}{2} x + 1 \\ y =  \frac{1}{2} x + 6
