Answer:
ok so im so confused but like you know i tried and i got this:
X years ago, the father’s age and the son’s age would be (32 - x) and (7 - x) years old.
(32 - x)(7 - x) = 116
(x - 32)(x - 7) = 116
x^2 - 39x + 224 = 116
x^2 - 39x + 108 = 0
(x - 3)(x - 36) = 0
x = 3, 36
But (32 - x) > 0, so x does not equal to 36.
x = 3
3 years ago, the father would be 29 years old, and the son 4 years old.
i know it sounds crazy but i think its wrong lol
Let the number be a
6a - 20 = 3a + 4
Group like terms
6a - 3a = 20 + 4
3a = 24
divide through by 3
a = 8
Therefore the number is 8
Answer: i do this by repeating subtraction 36.1-8 1sec -8 2sec 20-8 3sec 12-8 4sec remainder 4-8 is half second
So 4.5seconds
There is nicer way when you can write formulas
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(x + 4) = 2x - 5
-3x + (-3*4) = 2x - 5
The mistake was in the above equation where -3 should be multiplied with 4.
-3x -12 = 2x -5
5 -12 = 2x+3x
-7 = 5x
x = -7/5 = - 1.4
