Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up the equation as 5x-3=2x+9. Subtract 2x from both sides, then add three to both sides which gives you 3x=12. Divide both sides by 3, and you get x=4.

A father’s age now is three times the age that his son was 4 years ago. In

Mice21 [21]

Let ‘s’ be the son’s age 12 years ago.
Let ‘f’ be the father’s current age.

4 years ago, the son was:

s-4

So, his father is currently:

3(s-4)

=

3s-12

Therefore:

f = 3s-12

In twelve years, the son will be:

s+12

And the father will be:

f+12

This can also be written as:

3s-12+12 as the fathers younger age would be f = 3s+12

=

3s

So, we know that s+12 is half the fathers current age, meaning the father is currently 2(s+12) which is equivalent to 2s+24. Also, we know that the father is currently 3 times the sons age 12 years ago, so 3s (proven by the calculations we made above). Therefore, 2s+24=3s which means 24=s. We can then substitute this, and we will receive 24+12 = 36

Son’s current age: 36

We then substitute the son’s age 12 years ago into 2s+24 to give us the father’s age.

2(24)+24 = 72

Father’s current age: 72

A billboard designer has decided that a sign should have 3 ft margins at the top and bottom and 5 ft margins on the left and rig

elixir [45]

Answer:

The width of billboard is "[x]" and the height of billboard is "[y"]. If total area of billboard is $9000 ft^2$ then $9000=xy$

Step-by-step explanation:

• The total width of billboard is [x]. Therefore the width of printed area will be (x-10) by excluding margin of left and right side.

• The total height of billboard is [y]. Therefore the height of printed area will be [(y-6)] by excluding the margin of top and bottom from the total height.

• To find the printed area of billboard calculations are given below:

$& 9000=xy$

$& y=\frac{9000}{x} \\ & A=(x-10)(y-6) \\ & A=xy-6x-10y+60 \\ & A=x\left( \frac{9000}{x} \right)-6x-10\left( \frac{9000}{x} \right)+60 \\ & A=9060-6x-\frac{9000}{x} \\$

On taking the first order derivative of A

$A'=-6+\left( \frac{90000}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)$

$& \left( \frac{90000}{{{x}^{2}}} \right)-6=0 \\ & 6{{x}^{2}}=90000 \\ & x=\sqrt{15000} \\ & y=\frac{9000}{x}=\frac{90000}{\sqrt{15000}}=10\sqrt{150} \\$
