Dr. Garica is twice as old as his son. Twenty years ago he was 4 times as old as his son was then. How old are they now?

Let's let g = Dr. Garcia's age and s = his son's age.

g = 2s, right?

20 years ago, Dr. Garcia was g - 20 years old.  He was also 4(s - 20), 4 times his son's age 7 years ago.

g - 20 = 4(s - 20)

g - 20 = 4s - 80

In the first equation, we have g = 2s.  We are going to substitute this g into the second equation.

2s - 20 = 4s - 80

       60 = 2s

       s = 30

So, his son is 30 and Mr. Garcia is 60. 30 x 2 = 60.

20 years ago, his son would have been 10 and Mr. Garcia would have been 40.  10 x 4 = 40.

Dr. Garcia's age is 60, and his son's age is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be Dr. Garcia's age, and y his son's age.

1. Dr. Garcia is twice as old as his son

x = 2 y

2. Twenty years ago, he was 4 times as old as his son was then

x - 20 = 4 (y - 20)

Substitute x in 2 and solve for y:

2 y - 20 = 4 (y - 20)

2 y - 20 = 4 y - 80

- 20 = 2 y - 80

60 = 2 y

y = 30

Put y back into 1:

x = 2 (30)

x = 60

So Dr. Garcia's age is 60, and his son's age is 30.

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.

the answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

y+3=-4(x-2)

y+3=-4x+8
