Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Harpreet        = x + 3

Sukhpreet     = x

Komalpreet   = 2*(x + 3)

Average Age = 15

Equation

[(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15                  Multiply both sides by 3

Solution

3 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ] / 3 = 15 * 3         Combine

 [(x + 3) + x + 2*(x + 3) ]       =   45             Remove the brackets

x + 3 + x + 2x + 6                 =   45             Combine like terms

4x + 9 = 45                                                 Subtract 9 from both sides

4x + 9 - 9 = 45 - 9                                       Combine

4x = 36                                                         Divide by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9

Answer

Harpreet is  x+ 3 = 9 + 3 = 12

Which sequence of transformations produces R'S'T' from RST? On a coordinate plane, triangle R S T has points (0, 0), (negative 2
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle RST and another triangle R'S'T' tranformed from RST

Vertices of RST are (0, 0), (negative 2, 3), (negative 3, 1).

Vertices of R'S'T' are  (2, 0), (0, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 1).

Comparing the corresponding vertices we find that x coordinate increased by 2 while y coordinate got the different sign.

This indicates that there is both reflection and transformation horizontally to the right by 2 units

So first shifted right by 2 units so that vertices became

(2,0) (0,3) (-1,1)

Now reflected on the line y=0 i.e. x axis

New vertices are

(2,0) (0,-3) (-1,-1)

The seat of a bench is the shape of a Trapezoid with bases of 8 feet and 7 feet and a height on 3.5 feet whats the are of the se
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

26.25 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the area of the seat

Using this formula

Area=1/2*(b1+b2)*h

Where,

b1=8 feet

b2=7 feet

h=3.5 feet

Let plug in the formula

Area=1/2*(8+7)*3.5

Area=1/2*15*3.5

Area=26.25

Therefore the area of the seat is 26.25 square feet

Whats the absolute vaule of -1 1/3​
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute values are how far away it is from 0, so it is always positive. It is always the positive number of itself, so absolute values of negative numbers are the opposite, and the absolute value of positive numbers and just the same numbers.
