You can put this solution on YOUR website!The present age of a man is 3 times that of his son. 6 years ago, the age of the man was 4 times that of his son. Find the ratio of their ages 6 years later.
son = x
father = 3x
..
6 years ago
son = x-6
father = 3x-6
..
3x-6=4(x-6)
3x-6=4x-24
-x=-18
x=18 son's age
father's age = 54 years

You can put this solution on YOUR website!D= rt
wind rate = y
plane rate = x
distance =1190
time = 5 hours
1190/x+y=5
5x+5y=1190
/5
x+y=238.................1

against wind
1190/(x-y)=7
7x-7y=1190
x-y = 170................2
add the two equations
2x=408
x= 204 mph plane speed
238-204=34 mph speed of wind

let him ride x miles into the country

return speed = 24 mph
time return = x/24

revenue must be equal to sales
18x=13x+90000
18x-13x=90000

x+3=4(57-x)
x+3=188-4x
5x=188-3

let her speed for 30 miles be xmph
time taken = 30/x
speed increased to x+15 mph
time taken = 20/(x+5)
..
(30/x)+20/(x+5)=1
30(x+5)+20x / x(x+5)=1
30x+150+20x = x^2+5x
50x+150-x^2-5x=0
-x^2+45x+150=0
x^2-45x-150=0
solve using quadratic formula
discriminant = 2625
x1= (45+sqrt(2625))/2
x1=48.11 mph
x2 will be negative so ignore
