x - Ram's age now
Ram is half his father's age now, so his father's age is two times Ram's age:
2x - Ram's father age now
x - 10 - Ram's age ten years ago
2x - 10 - Ram's father age ten years ago
ten years ago he was one third his father's age so his father's age was three times Ram's age:
2x - 10 = 3•(x - 10)
2x - 10 = 3x - 30
-10 + 30 = 3x - 2x
20 = x
2x = 2•20 = 40
Answer:
<u>Ram is 20 years old now, Ram's father is 40 years old now.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:
it depends. if (for example) y=x2 then there are an infinite amount of answers. if there is an equation like: If (variable X)= (variable Y) + 5 and if X=5, what is Y? then there is only one answer. check an algebra book, it can give you a more detailed answer.
Answer:
Both child tickets and senior tickets cost $14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the school that DeShawn goes to is selling tickets to the annual dance competition, and on the first day of ticket sales, the school sold 10 senior citizen tickets and 8 child tickets for a total of $ 252, while the school took in $ 280 on the second day by selling 10 senior citizen tickets and 10 child tickets, to determine what is the price of each of one senior citizen ticket and one child ticket, the following calculation must be performed:
10 senior tickets + 8 child tickets = 252
10 senior tickets + 10 child tickets = 280
280 - 252 = 2 child tickets
28 = 2 child tickets
28/2 = 1 child ticket
14 = 1 child ticket
14 x 10 = 140
(280 - 140) / 10 = senior tickets
140/10 = 14 = senior tickets
Therefore, both child tickets and senior tickets cost $14.
