Let's create expressions and equations to model this situation. Let Anthony's age be a.

"Jim is 3 times as old as his cousin, Anthony." Jim's age is 3a.
"The difference in their age is 18." 3a - a = 18

How old is Jim?

Let's solve the above equation for a to first find Anthony's age.

    3a - a = 18
    2a = 18
    a = 9

Remember, Jim's age is represented by the expression 3a. Substitute Anthony's age, 9, into the expression to find Jim's age.

    3a
    3(9)
    27

Answer:
Jim is 27 years old.

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

102 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the 3.3's are congruent (the same), this triangle is isosceles.

A property of isosceles means that the two angles are congruent.

39+39= 78

This means that the last angle must be 180-78.

What is list factors of 36​
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

36 ÷ 1 = 36

36 ÷ 2 = 18

36 ÷ 3 = 12

36 ÷ 4 = 9

36 ÷ 6 = 6

36 ÷ 9 = 4

36 ÷ 12 = 3

36 ÷ 18 = 2

36 ÷ 36 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Postive Factors of 36 are therefore all the numbers we used to divide (divisors) above to get an even number. Here is the list of all Postive Factors of 36 in numerical order:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.

Factors of 36 include negative numbers. Therefore, all the Positive Factors of 36 can be converted to negative numbers. The list of Negative Factors of 36 are:

-1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -9, -12, -18, and -36.

How many Factors of 36?

When we counted the Factors of 36 that we listed above, we found that 36 has 9 Positive Factors and 9 Negative Factors. Thus, the total number of Factors of 36 is 18.

Factor Pairs of 36

Factor Pairs of 36 are combinations of two factors that when multiplied together equal 36. Here are all the Positive Factor Pairs of 36

1 × 36 = 36

2 × 18 = 36

3 × 12 = 36

4 × 9 = 36

6 × 6 = 36

9 × 4 = 36

12 × 3 = 36

18 × 2 = 36

36 × 1 = 36

Like we said above, Factors of 36 include negative numbers. Minus times minus equals plus, thus you can convert the Positive Factor Pair list above by simply putting a minus in front of every factor to get all the Negative Factor Pairs of 36:

-1 × -36 = 36

-2 × -18 = 36

-3 × -12 = 36

-4 × -9 = 36

-6 × -6 = 36

-9 × -4 = 36

-12 × -3 = 36

-18 × -2 = 36

-36 × -1 = 36
