Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...
5(s+4) = (s+32)+4
5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20
s = 4
The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...
father : son = 5 : 1
The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...
father : son = 40 : 8
So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...
father: 36; son: 4.
Answer:
32 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
56 / 1.75 = 56 / (7/4) = 56 * 4 / 7 = 32.
Answer:
he cable car's elevation will be 750 feet after 15 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
elevation, e =2,000 feet
rate, I = 50 feet/minute
The equation that models the car's elevation, e, after t minutes is e = |t
The cable car's elevation will be 750 feet after how many minutes?
since, e = It
for 2,000 feet = 50 feet/minute * t
t = 2000/50 =40minutes
using the same constant rate, I for 750ft, T =
since, e = It
for 750 feet = 50 feet/minute * t
t = 750/50 =15minutes
I did where you subtract 4 from both sides then divide 2 from 4 and you get 0.5 as x for your answer but im not sure
