Amans age today is 2 years more than three times the age his son will be 5 years from now. let a represent the sons age today. write an expression to represent the mans age today. then find his age if his son is now 8 years old

So the expression for the man's age today is: 3a+17

So man's age today is: 41 years

answer: 12

step-by-step explanation:

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
