Answer:
Mr.Lin's present age is 30 years now. His son is 8 years old now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L = Mr.Lin's present age,
S = his son's present age.
First equation is
L + S = 38. (1)
The second equation is
L + 3 = 3*(S+3) (2) ("In three years' time, Mr.Lin will be three times as old as his son.")
From (1), express S = 38-L and substitute it into (2). You will get
L + 3 = 3*((38-L)+3), or
L + 3 = 114 - 3L + 9,
4L = 114 + 9 - 3,
4L = 120,
L = 30.
The answer is 4 So yeaaaa....

Answer:
64 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume (V) of a cube is calculated as
V = s³ ( where s is the length of the side )
Given
area = 16, then
s² = 16 ( take the square root of both sides )
s = 
= 4 , thus
V = 4³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 16 × 4 = 64 in³
Answer:
You have to translate these sentences into expressions. I am not going to solve all of these because if I explain one/two problems to you, you'll get the hang of it. Seven more than three times a number: 7+3x; Five times a number decreased by six: 5x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Why? We don't know what number that is, so we can put any variable like (x, y, z, a, b, etc.). Three times a number is simply that number times 3. In this case we would input: 3*x, or 3x. 7 more than that number is 3x+7. Five times a number decreased by six: 5x-6 . Remember: it is simply 5*x which simplifies to 5x. Decreased is take away, so take away 6, and get 5x-6
Key words: Quotient: the result after dividing two/or more numbers; Product: the result after multiplying two/ or more numbers; Decreased: take away (Example: x decreased by 7=x-7)
I hope you understand!! It is very simple after you start to get the hang of it!!
