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.

One leg of a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle measures 12 centimeters what is the length of the hypotenuse
adelina 88 [10]
The angles of the triangle are given as to have measures of 45°-45°-90°. This entails that the triangle is an isosceles triangle where the 2 legs of the triangle are of equal length. We calculate as follows:

c² = a² + b²

c² = 2a²

4² = 2a²

a = 2√2

Hope this answers the question.

L'oreal car travels 420 miles on a full tank of gas her tank can hold 14 gallons. laila car can travel 435 miles on 15 gallons.
Kisachek [45]
L’oreal’s car can gets better mileage because you have to divide both the miles and the amount of gallons they carried. L’oreal: 420 divided by 14 is 30 = 30 miles per gallon. Laila: 435 divided by 15 = 29 miles per gallon. But since we have to even out the amount of gallons they both carry, we can either take away 29 to the 435 (Laila), or add 30 to the 420(L’oreal). 420 + 30 = 450. 435 - 29 = 406. 420 > 406 = 450 > 435. L’oreal has the better mileage
