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

Answer:

  -390 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b represent, respectively, the distances of A and B from the airport. The distance d between the planes is then given by the Pythagorean theorem as ...

  d² = a² + b²

Differentiating with respect to time, we have ...

  2d·d' = 2a·a' +2b·b'

Solving for d', we get ...

  d' = (a/d)a' +(b/d)b'

The value of d at the time of interest is ...

  d = √(a² +b²) = √(30² +40²) = √2500 = 50

Then the rate of change of separation is ...

  d' = (30/50)(-250 mph) +(40/50)(-300 mph) = (-150 -240) mph

  d' = -390 mph

The distance between planes is decreasing at 390 miles per hour.

Answer:

Combine like terms

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in such equations is to simplify the equation which is done most often by combining like terms, and by combining like terms i mean for example:

1 + 5 + 3x = 4y + z

You will combine the like terms (those that can be added or subtracted):

6 + 3x = 4y + z

In our example, combining terms would be adding 2x/3 and 1x/3 to give

3x/3 + 2 = 5

The equation is now simple and easy to solve as you simplify 3x/3 to 1x and then proceed to rearrange the equation to yield the value of x

Hope this helps!
