To solve this, we need to turn this word problem into a system of linear equations. To do this, let's use x to stand for Mr. Fontana's age, and y to stand for his son's age.
The first sentence states that eight years ago, Mr. Fontana was six times as old as his son.
eight years ago = x - 8
Fontana was six times as old as his son = 6(y - 8). Remember, we need subtract 8 from his son's age, which is why I wrote it as 6(y - 8), and his father was 6 times his son's age 8 years ago, which is why I multiplied 6 by y - 8.
Now, putting this all together gives us our first equation:
x - 8 = 6(y - 8)
We can now rewrite this equation in standard form:
x - 8 = 6y - 48 ----->
x - 6y = -48 + 8 ----->
x - 6y = -40 <----- this is our first linear equation
To find our second, we need to turn the second sentence into an equation. It says that in 12 years, Mr. Fontana will be twice as old as his son:
x + 12 = 2(y + 12)
Now, we need to rewrite this equation in standard form:
x + 12 = 2y + 24 ----->
x - 2y = 24 - 12 ----->
x - 2y = 12 <----- this is our second linear equation. We now have our system of equations:
x - 6y = -40
x - 2y = 12
Now we can find the father's age (x) and his son's age (y). First, multiply the second equation by -1, giving us:
x - 6y = -40
-x + 2y = -12
Now we can add both equations together:
x - x - 6y + 2y = -40 + -12 ----->
-4y = -52
Solve for y, by dividing both sides of the equation by -4, giving us:
y = 13
So, now we know the son's age: 13
To find the father's age, replace y in either the first equation or the second equation, with 13. Let's use the first equation:
x - 6(13) = -40 ----->
x - 78 = -40 ----->
x = 78 - 40 ----->
x = 38
Therefore, Mr. Fontana is 38 years old and his son is 13 years old.

Gravity is a force that acts upon a ball after it is thrown?
A. True
B. False
True or false, depending on the specifics. True, because the gravity makes it go to the ground. False, because gravity is always working, so you don't need to throw the ball. However since it doesn't say that it only happens when you throw it. The answer should be true.

Step-by-step explanation:
The average price of an item is $42 with a standard deviation of $3
Find a 98% confidence interval about the mean (one decimal place).
Is a value of X=48 unusually high or is it normal? Choose correct explanation!
The mean price goes between $ 41.16 and $ 42.84, so a value of $ 48 is unusually high.
Since the average price of an item is $ 42 with a standard deviation of $ 3, to find a 98% confidence interval about the mean, and determine if a value of X = 48 is unusually high or if it is normal, the following calculations should be done:
(((42 - 3) + (42 + 3)) / 2) x 0.98 = X ((39 + 45) / 2) x 0.98 = X 42 x 0.98 = X 41.16 = X
(((42 - 3) + (42 + 3)) / 2) x 1.02 = X ((39 + 45) / 2) x 1.02 = X 42 x 1.02 = X 42.84 = X
Therefore, as the mean price goes between $ 41.16 and $ 42.84, a value of $ 48 is unusually high.

Anita plans to give her husband 3 shirts for his birthday. She narrows the search to 3 shirts from a selection of 17 shirts at Dillon's Store or 3 from a selection of 20 shirts at The Men's Shop. In how many ways can she select the shirts
Using the combination formula, it is found that she can select the shirts in 775,200 ways.
The order in which the shirt are chosen is not important, hence, the combination formula is used to solve this question.
Combination formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this problem:
3 shirts from a set of 17.Then, 3 shirts from a set of 20.They are independent, hence, to find the total, we multiply both combinations.[tex]T = C_{17,3} \times C_{20,3} = \frac{17!}{3!14!} \times \frac{20!}{3!17!} = 680 \times 1140 = 775200[/tex]

Find the perimeter of a semicircle with a radius of 9 in.
Please explain and be accurate.
Answer:
9π + 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference of a circle is pi times diameter, so 9 x 2 = 18 inches, which is the diameter. That will be the flat side of the semicircle. Then the circumference of the whole circle will be 18π. To find the curved side of the semi-circle, divide this by 2, so you get 9π. Therefore the answer is 9π + 18. The rough answer to 3 decimal places is 46.274

Zanele Situ is a disabled Olympic gold-medallist javelin champion. She threw the javelin a distance of 16,22 m in London at 2012 Olympics. She threw the javelin to a distance of 17,90 m in Rio at 2016 Olympics. By what percentage did the distance increase?
Answer:
10,4%
Step-by-step explanation:
The percentage change is found from ...
(amount of change)/(original amount) × 100%
(17,90 -16,22)/(16,22) × 100% = 1,68/16,22 × 100% ≈ 10,358% ≈ 10,4%

The vertice of triangle ABC are A(8,4), B(6,3) and C(5-5). Find the angle between the side AB and BC.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use law of cosines
c² = a² + b² - 2abcosθ
cosθ = (c² - a² - b²) / -2ab
c = length of AC = √(8 - 5)² + (4 - (-5))² = √90
b = length of AB = √(8 - 6)² + (4 - 3)² = √5
a = length of BC = √(6 - 5)² + (3 - (-5))² = √65
cosθ = (√90² - √65² - √5²) / -2√65√5
cosθ = 20 / -36.05551...
cosθ = - 0.5547001
θ = 123.69°
Solve the inequality for x.
9x - 7 < 7x - 25
Answer:
x<-9
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract the 7x from the right side to bring it over to the left side to get:
2x-7<-25
then add the 7 from the left side to bring it over to the right side to get:
2x<-18 and then divide both sides by 2 to get the final inequality to be:
x<-9
Therefore, the solved inequality is x < -9.
