Ok so
fater=60
son is 1/2
60 times 1/2=30
they aer 30 years apart

how long ago was father age 4 times son age
father's age x year ago=60-x
son's age x years ago=30-x

60-x=4(30-x)
distribute
60-x=120-4x
add 4x to both sides
60+3x=120
minus 60 from both sides
3x=60
divide both sides by 3
x=20

Hello there!

a - 15 = 28k 
a = 28k + 15
n = 30a + 3 = 30(28k + 15) + 3 = 840k + 453.
The only number that would fit between 1000 and 2000 is 1293.

In short, your answer is 1293.

maw [93]

Answer:

80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of persons that had fish be x and chicken be y

so

12x+9y=2544------------------1

x+y= 232------------------------2

from 2

x= 232-y

substitute the value of x in 1

12(232-y)+9y=2544

2784-12y+9y=2544

2784-3y=2544

3y= 2784-2544

3y=240

y= 240/3

y=80

put y= 80 in 2

x+80= 232

x= 232-80

x=152

Hence 80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Estimate.Then find the product 1,925 ×7<br><br>Please show work
Licemer1 [7]

1,925 is close to 2,000

so 2,000 x 7 = 14,000

1,925 x 7 = ?

5 x 7 = 35

20 x 7 = 140

900 x 7 = 6,300

1,000 x 7 = 7,000

so 7,000 + 6,300 + 140 + 35 = 13,475 and 13,475 is close to 14,000 or 13,500 or 13,470.

Hope this helps even though a little confusing! ;D
