Question

The age of a father is 2 less than 7 times the age of his son. In 3 years, the sum of their ages will be 52. If the son age is s years, which equation models this situation?

a. (s+3)+[(7s-2)+3}=52
b. 3s+3+3(7s-2)= 52
c. s+(7s-2)=52
d. (s-3)+(7s-2)-3=52

Answer 1

A. (s+3)+[(7s-2)+3}=52

Explanation:

this is the correct answer for this question, I took the test

Answer 2

First,
the age of the son: s
the age of the father is 2 less than 7 times the age of his son: 7s - 2
In 3 years, the sum of their ages will be 52,
In 3 years, the age of the sun will increase 3, so s+3. Also, the age of his father also increase 3, (7s - 2) + 3

(s+3) + [(7s-2) + 3] = 52 is the equation.
