Answer:

the son is 2

man is 26

+10 yrs

son=12

man=36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x.

Then the father's age is 13x.

In ten years their ages will be (x+10) and (13x+10).

(13x+10)=3(x+10)

13x+10=3x+30

10x=20

x=2

The son is 2 years old.

PLEASE HELP! A positive number is 1/3 of another number. The sum of the numbers is five less than the square of the larger numbe

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: The numbers are 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = smaller number , y= larger number.

As per given,

$x=\dfrac{y}{3}$ ...(i)

$x+y=y^2-5$ ...(ii)

Put value of x from (i) in (ii)

$\dfrac{y}{3}+y=y^2-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac43y=y^2-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y^2-4y-15=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y^2-9y+5y-15=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y(y-3)+5(y-3)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-3)(3y+5)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=3 \ \ or\ y=\dfrac{-5}{3}$

Since numbers are positive , so y=3 is correct.

And x will be 1 [from (i)]

Hence, the numbers are 1 and 3.
