Response:Bryson is 14 years old.

Solution:

Assuming Bryson's age is x.

His dad is 38 years old, and that amount is four years below three times Bryson’s age. Three times Bryson's age equals 3x. Therefore, the equation will be 3x-4 =38

By organizing the terms to solve for x, we derive,

Thus x=\frac{38+4}{3}=\frac{42}{3}=14

Bryson's age is 14 years.

lawyer [12109]
A dilation represents a transformation D_{o,k}(x,y), centered at point O with a scale factor of k, which cannot be zero. This transformation keeps O fixed while transforming any other point P into its image P'. Points O, P, and P' are collinear.

In a dilation of D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y), the scale factor \frac{1}{2} maps the original figure to its transformed image in such a way that the distances from O to points of the image are half the distances from O to the original figure. Consequently, the image's size is also half that of the original figure.

Thus, <span>If D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y) represents the dilation of △ABC, then the properties of the image △A'B'C'</span> are:

<span>AB is parallel to A'B'.

D_{o, \frac{1}{2} }(x,y)=( \frac{1}{2}x, \frac{1}{2}y)

The distance from A' to the origin is half that from A to the origin.</span>

AnnZ [11925]
The cabinet appointments can occur in 121,080,960 different configurations. This is a permutations problem since the order of selection matters; swapping candidates results in a new arrangement. This leads us to utilize the permutation formula. Given there are 14 viable candidates for 8 spots, we need to compute the permutations of 8 from a set of 14, concluding that the cabinet can indeed be arranged in 121,080,960 distinct ways.
