Answer:
B. 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both triangles are similar, therefore,
GM/XD = AG/KX
(x - 2)/6 = (x + 9)/9
Cross multiply
9(x - 2) = 6(x + 9)
9x - 18 = 6x + 54
Collect like terms
9x - 6x = 18 + 54
3x = 72
Divide both sides by 3
x = 72/3
x = 24
Yes
Explanation:
2x9=18 and 1+8=9
The pattern repeats
Answer:
<u>The ages of Paul and Selena are 13 and 7 years old.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Age of Paul = x
Age of Selena = x -6
Age of Paul and Selena in 15 years:
x + 15 = 4 (x - 6)
x + 15 = 4x - 24
x - 4x = -24 - 15
- 3x = -39
x = 13
<u>Paul now is 13 years old and Selena is 7 years old. In 15 years, Paul will be 28, that is 4 times the present age of Selena.</u>

Note that a decay has a rate between 0 and 1, and a growth as a rate of 1 or higher.
y = 1/2(1 + 0.03)^t → y = 1/2(1.03)^t (Rate is more then 0) GROWTH
y = 0.3(0.95)^t → (Rate is between 0 and 1) DECAY
y = ((1+0.03)^1/2)^2t → y = y = 1.014^2t (Rate is more then 0) GROWTH
y = 200(0.73)^t → (Rate is between 0 and 1) DECAY
y = 4(1/4)^t → (Rate is between 0 and 1) DECAY
