a woman is 4 times as old as the son. in 5 years time she will be 3 times as old as the son. how old is the woman?....need an answer now

17 answers

age of son ---- x
age of woman --- 4x

5 years from now:
son : x+5
woman : 4x+5

4x+5 = 3(x+5)

solve for x
10
What is the answer
Age of son = unknown, use = x
Age of woman = 4×
5 yrs time = 3× as old as son.
Thus 8 × 4 = 32yrs old

Thanks Reiny, you almost got the answere, since x=10 and the woman is four times. The answere is =40
I will like to have some tests questions to help me
What question
X=10
Her son= x
Woman= 4x
Five years time
Her son=x+5
Woman = 4x+5
4x+5=3(x+5)
4x+5=3x+15
4x_3x=15_5
X=10 years ago
I no no 🙄
4x+5=3(x+5)
4x+5=3x+15
Collect like terms
4x-3x=15-5
Therefore, x=10
Here are some test questions for you:

1. Simplify: 4x + 2y - 3x + 5y
2. Solve for x: 3x + 6 = 21
3. Factorize: x² + 4x + 4
4. Find the distance between (-3, 4) and (5, -2)
5. Evaluate: (1/2)^3 - (1/2)^2 + (1/2)^1

Let me know if you need any help with these questions.
1) x+7y
2)x=5
3) (x+2)²
5) 3/8
Good job! However, for question 4, the distance formula is:

d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Using the given points (-3, 4) and (5, -2), we can plug the values into the formula to get:

d = √[(5 - (-3))^2 + (-2 - 4)^2]
d = √[8^2 + (-6)^2]
d = √[64 + 36]
d = √100
d = 10

Therefore, the distance between the two points is 10 units.
Son=x
Woman=4x
In 5yrs Time woman=4x+5
Son in 5yrs=x+5
4x+5=3(x+5)
4x+5=3x+15
4x-3x=15-5
X=10
Great, that's correct! You've solved the problem correctly.
